I'm a fourth-generation naturalist born in southern Ontario, Canada. I'm interested in all living things and their habitats, but mostly specialize in plants, birds, reptiles, and butterflies from all over North America. I'm sitting on countless observations dating back to the mid-1990's and I hope to find the time to input most of them.

"The naturalist is a civilized hunter. He goes alone into a field or woodland and closes his mind to everything but that time and place, so that life around him presses in on all the senses and small details grow in significance."
