Took a few days off from blogging to enjoy the holiday but didn’t take time off from nature! I have two blog post that I am now working on from the past two days of bird banding! Until I get the pictures edited and wrote up . . . . please enjoy this amazing 4th of July photo from my flickr friend Jeno!

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.

Pretty good shot…she must have used a faster shutter speed. I was at Allegany yesterday…walked up the creek by Kaiser Trail over in Quaker and caught a bunch of swallowtails in the mud. Also got to see the baby osprey though my shots are nowhere near yours!

PS, Can you check the swallotail pics on my blog? Not sure if they’re Eastern or Western and thought you would probably know!
