Bill Thompson III, also known as Bill of the Birds, will be leaving 10,000 Birds because he just can’t keep up with the vigor of bird blogging at the fast paced, deadline-driven environment of 10,000 Birds. Or maybe it had something to do with rasing a family, having a day job, and trying to get some books published. You can find him out at his retirement farm, otherwise known as his original blog, talking about the good old days and yelling at birds to get on his lawn.
We’ll miss BT3, and are glad that the archives of his Offbeat Birding beat are still here to peruse (and even more glad that he might occasionally do a guest post here). Good luck, Bill of the Birds!
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.
Deadline-driven environment?
Yeah, emphasis on “dead”. That’s what you get for missing your deadlines once too often. I just hope Bill can keep on blogging from the bottom of the Hudson river.
