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.

They look more like the ugly duckling stage to me, emphasis on ugly.

Aren’t they funny – nice family shot – notice the one parent staying at the back so nobody will slip off! lol

Ours are at the same awkward stage! But still cute, in an ugly sort of way … 🙂

They certainly have lost their “cute” phase but soon they’ll be gorgeous, graceful adults.
