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.

Before this spring I never really appreciated how pretty female red-winged blackbirds are.

Gorgeous shots Tom!

Love the shots!

I wonder why I only see male RW blackbirds? I’m certain I haven’t seen a female.
Great photos, as usual!

I love your photos Tom, but I miss your words! LOL! I love orange hawkweed – we used to call it Indian Paintbrush when I was a kid! Don’t know if that is a known common name since Newcomb’s lists it as Devil’s Paintbrush.

I like your wordless Wednesday offerings.
Whoever said a picture is worth 1000 words wasn’t exactly right–your photos are worth a lot, but so are your words.

You and Liza at Egret’s Nest make me want to do Wordless Wednesday. These are beautiful shots.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and I love doing wordless wednesday because sometimes wordless is better than the books that I can write sometimes! Robin – you should, makes posting easy!

Great WW Mon@rch. Thar RW Blackbird looks a lot like a Red-breated Grosbeak. Lots of females look so similar in the bird world.
