I was born in Tehran, Iran in 1943; spent my teenage years in Tangier, Morocco; attended college and currently reside in eastern Massachusetts, USA.
I have been a birder and natural history observer since the early 1970s. I co-founded (and maintain the web site for) Take a Second Look (TASL), which monitors Boston Harbor winter birds; and co-founded Friends of Belle Isle Marsh.
I retired in 2011. Since then I have undertaken several cross-continent trips, in each case documenting photographically wildlife I discover across North America. I have uploaded many hundreds of images to Google Photos and Flickr using my email name sohzendeh. They're all open to the public but each provider makes it hard to actually access the photos. I have therefore decided to begin using iNaturalist as a repository of my photos.
