Instead, they use killing birds as a photo-op. Though, honestly, having Rick Santorum as a birder would probably be a net negative anyway…
Corey is a New Yorker who lived most of his life in upstate New York but has lived in Queens since 2008. He's only been birding since 2005 but has garnered a respectable life list by birding whenever he wasn't working as a union representative or spending time with his family. He lives in Forest Hills with Daisy and Desmond Shearwater. His bird photographs have appeared on the Today Show, in Birding, Living Bird Magazine, Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other fine publications. He is also the author of the American Birding Association Field Guide to the Birds of New York.
unfortunately, the NRA has a lot more $$$ to spend influencing politics than birders who are just interested in counting birds…
Wouldn’t it be an awesome sight though to see a candidate doing a Christmas Bird Count.
Would love to see how the press would spin that for both sides.
