Call me Robo. i have interests in evolutionary biology, systematics, and morphology. i love to learn new things about nature and organisms every day. Languages: English (native)/Japanese (intermediate), i use computer translation for all other languages.

Feel free to @ or DM me about observations and identifications. i am happy to give my attention to observations within my specialisation and to review previous IDs/annotations at any time.

for research queries regarding my observations, please DM me. i am open to gathering more data and collecting specimens. my media is available to use non-commercially with credit and I would appreciate being notified of their use. thank you.

Identification
i specialise in IDing raptor taxa (Strigiformes, Cathartiformes, Accipitriformes, Cariamiformes, Falconiformes) and Mustelinae. My goal is to learn global raptor ID.

i will not be making ssp level identifications for the time being. i wish to make clear that, even if i agree things look consistent for the ssp as recognized, i suspend ultra-fine level agreement by personal choice. i will not disagree with finer level IDs without providing evidence/reasoning. Thank you for understanding.
