If you are a New Yorker join the walking tour of the Ridgewood Reservoir, Brooklyn, on Thursday, May 15, at 11 AM with Assemblyman Darryl Towns. Local folks (and birders) want “to prevent the Parks Department from destroying the historical integrity of the reservoir, to preserve the natural landscape of the area, establish a interpretive nature center and to rehabilitate and improve the active sporting areas of Highland Park.” You can take a first step to help save the natural value of the area by meeting in the parking lot on Vermont Place between Cypress Avenue and Highland Blvd on Thursday. RSVP to dquintana1 AT nyc.rr.com.
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.
Wish I could join you!
