Jose Luis Ochoa certainly did not deserve the death penalty for training birds to participate in cockfights, but that is what he got. He “died Sunday after being stabbed in the leg by a sharp blade that was attached to a fighting bird, authorities said.”
An unfortunate incident for sure. Full details here.
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.
Yeah, that’s a real shame.
