Welcome!
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.

Beautiful birdies, but “butterbut” is being modest. Can’t see his posterior field mark.
I have been watching the turtle pond, but you saw ’em first! Hmmmph

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then you have 7at least 7,00 nice words there.-Nice pictures!

I don’t know what happened there but it was supposed to be 7,000 words.

Very good pictures – especially the Swallow. The pictures say it all – these creatures are out and about in fine feather (fur, shell) in better weather.

Thanks for the lovely pics!

Love that fat (or fluffed up) swallow. And thank you for id-ing the birds. Much as I love to look at birds, I know very few by name.

The more photos of yours that I see, the more impressed I am… (looked at some of your flickr photos yesterday)…
I am a bit questionable on your “Butter Butt” Bird, though; sounds made up. I’ll have to quiz my dad on it. ;P
Happy Spring Tom.

Beautiful pictures. You’re right. This time of year words aren’t necessary. Required equipment: a happy heart and a good pair of binoculars. (A camera helps record the synergy between the first two)

I’m glad that Liza and I are not the only ones who break the rules. You have words in your post, Mon@rch. Great photos, as usual. CHECK.
