I hope 2007 brings many more lifers (didn’t get any in 2006) and great critter adventures your way with many photographing opportunities! Thanks again for such a wonderful group of people here which have made me smile and enjoy looking into your life through pictures and your blog. Be safe tonight!
Welcome to the mon@rch nature blog and I hope you join us in some of our nature adventures through the Allegany State Park area!
I am a naturalist, field biologist and nature photographer from the Western New York area. I have started exploring nature writing through this blog and it truly has been fun sharing my numerous adventures with everyone. Thanks to the many other authors that help me with my post and they will be sharing some of their nature explorations.
I have always had a latent interest in birds and photography and have been lucky enough to find time to explore these interests over the last few years. I am very thankful to the Cattaraugus County Bird Club for getting me started, sharing their wealth of knowledge and for their wonderful programs. And many thanks to Tom for letting me share some of my adventures and photos on the Monarch Nature Blog.
Thank you for taking the time visiting and commenting on this blog.

Happy New Year…I can’t wait to see more of your spectabulous (spectacular+fabulous) photos! Lifers might be new birds, but I think true lifers can happen at any time: a new birding behavior observed, a large mass of cool birds, or that oh so close look of a bird you’ve seen only once or twice that makes this hobby so unpredictable and enjoyable. Have fun!
