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.

Can you and your followers help us protect birds and their habitats in Europe from lawmakers?
The European Union wants to change laws which have saved thousands of sites in Europe for conservation use and which have also been responsible for growing the numbers of some at-risk species. These laws (the Birds and Habitats Directives) are being reviewed, but we think they should be safeguarded, not undermined!
Anyone who can put their name to our Nature Alert campaign (more information here: http://tiny.cc/naturealert) would be doing us a massive favour – every signature counts!
Sept 7, 2015. lodi,California Just observed a battle(?) between a bunch of hummingbirds and a common bluejay. I saw six hummingbirds at once and I think there were as many more. Hard to tell because they were in a live oak and the leaves are about the size and mottled brown color of the birds. Jay screeching its alarm call but the hummingbirds silent. I don’t know why the jay woud not flee. I could not see any nests and it is late in he season for nesting. Often see hummingbirds here of several varieties but they are usually alone and agressive toward each other. Very curious behavior.
