About Me

Hi there! I'm James, known here as "silversea_starsong". I'm all-around naturalist, on an eternal mission to document the life that calls this planet home.

My enthusiasm is driven by the wondrous complexity and specific nuances of the world we live in. Exploring far-flung places, learning of those that call those places home, and how that thriving life interacts within the complex spider-web of its ecosystem, brings me great joy.

Like many, my passion started young, developing a great respect, curiosity and desire. As so, my goal is to document as much flora and fauna as possible, learning from the stories each species has to offer, and bringing the visions and imagery of species both known and unknown to the rest of the world.

Why iNaturalist?

iNaturalist doubles as a library for my data, and a means connect to others who share my passion. Furthermore, iNat is an educational tool for me, where others' observations and knowledge teach me about species and places I never knew existed. In a rapidly changing world, documenting flora and fauna has become more critical than ever before. Awareness of these species, and gaps in our knowledge is the first step to progress. And together, we make greater strides to bringing the stories of our planet's species to light.
