Corey Finger started birding in 2005, started bird blogging in 2007, and moved to Queens in 2008. This year these three things have come together and Corey will be giving a presentation on the birds (and other creatures) he saw in Honduras on his trip there in Feb. and March. Corey is one of three bloggers who writes 10,000 Birds (http://10000birds.com/), the world's most-read birding blog, and wishes he could quit his day job to bird full time.
