Today I was enjoying the beautiful outside weather doing nothing nature related (sorry nature blog friends). I decided to take my banding assistant snowboarding at one of our local ski resorts here in Western New York!! Probably one of my best snowboarding days that I have had in a “VERY LONG TIME”!! I am very tired after a very long day; so let me leave you with a few pictures from the day!!
I promice to catch up on everyone’s photostream and blogs here soon!
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.

That snow looks awesome – glad you had such a great day! Nothing like an excellent day on the slopes. Love the view of the valley and trees! You’ll sleep good tonight!

I haven’t gone skiing in many years. Although I’m horrible on skates and skis, I had a blast. You WILL rest well tonight! Thanks for that wonderful, white view, from down here in NC.

The snow certainly has prettied everything up here in western NY. The pinetrees look especially beautiful.
