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.
as a herper/birder I’m going through conflicting emotions!
I always read xkcd. Its very funny
Well, I certainly shall take this up to the large office n my department that hosts numerous herpetologists and ornithologists. Should make for an interesting morning coffee.
Another case of how the paraphyletic inferiority complex manifests in angry outbursts against the phylogenetically correct crowd. Herpers and birders unite! Show some love to the root node.
