Life is a bioblitz!

I am a remarkably inquisitive, self-educated naturalist with a lifelong passion for wildlife. During my youth, I was obsessed with herps. Then, my interests transitioned to birds, butterflies, and eventually odonates. My ultimate goal is to know a little bit about my local flora and fauna, regardless of wherever the path my journey leads. To date, I’ve explored several parts of the United States, parts of the Caribbean, and parts of Europe.

Originally, I hail from Oswego County, New York, known for its forestry and natural beauty. This is the genesis of my early iNaturalist work. For the time being, I'm based in Okaloosa County, Florida. I am utilizing this opportunity to learn all about the specialties and endemics of the Florida Panhandle.

We’re all in mastery mode, and sometimes I make errors, like everyone does. So, if you think I’ve misidentified a species, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m always learning!
