Originally a bird lister but now increasingly spending time with plants, insects, herps, and fish, especially while in North America where I don't bird as much (though I do try my best to notice non-birds while traveling internationally for birding!). Avid swamp slogger, road median explorer, and documenter of insects on building walls.
My enthusiasm is not, unfortunately, matched by as much proficiency, skill, or expertise as I'd like (I only started getting into non-birding naturalisting in earnest the summer of 2020), so please do not hesitate to correct any mistakes I make in my IDs--they are more often than not informed by a combination of iNat's Visipedia and haphazard research, not any formal scientific expertise in botany, entomology, herpetology, etc (I have none).
Photos are 99% going to be from my iPhone, so please excuse potato quality; only exceptions are, for the most part, old photos of birds from ML that I upload from time to time, usually while bored in class. I usually go naturalisting with @harrier. Since iNaturalist does not have a share function, we photograph many of the same individual organisms, though often with a few different angles/additional details thrown in.
Feel free to tag me on anything, and reach out for whatever, whenever! Always happy to chat with or meet up with other naturalists :)
