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.

Cats request? That’s a new one on me – LOL! Cats usually *demand*! Have fun housecleaning – blech! Wouldn’t you rather be outside, doing something, anything, just to be outside? I know, it’s a necessary evil.

That cat looks quite pleased with the housecleaning effort.

Gee I miss cats. They are so soothing, unlike my “partying dogs” when I’m in the mood for rest…
You have lovely cats and look like they are groomed to perfection!
Housecleaning is a beast.

Purrrty kitty!

@ Pam – the weather hasn’t been too good and had a committee meeting this evening! I have some invasive species workshop tomorrow evening! And, demand is for sure but I was being nice to my cats!! They did demand to be brushed!
@ Larry – they don’t care that much about the house cleaning but they could be brushed 24 hours a day!
@ Mary – want mine?? Only kidding but they are fun in their own ways! Should brush them more than I do!
@ Lynne – thanks!

All the fur you must get off the kitties would thrill the nest-building birds right now.
“Request”…yeah, right.
They are making you say that, aren’t they?

LOL… the full look of contentment.

Great cat shot – definitely one that knows s/he owns the place.

This maxim seems apropos: dogs have masters; cats have staff!

I’m laughing at KGMom’s quote :0)
That’s one cute kitty.
