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.

And it’s beautiful. No matter how many I see, they always manage to take my breath away; male or female. They are equally stunning.

My cardinals are very shy, so I can only get pictures of them from afar. I’m hoping they will get more comfortable with time… These are beautiful!

I love the Cardinals–still hoping to get a good photo to put on a Christmas card sometime. Not sure who I will root for tonight but I will watch halftime to see Bruce Springsteen.

Clever. Haven’t ever heard of a bird called a Steeler? A football team, you say? Oh, yeah.
I really do like cardinals, though, of all sorts… 🙂

No, we’re rooting for the Cardinals . . . birds and a West Coast (ish) team . . . go Cardinals!!!

Of course you are for the Steelers. You must be. You and my Sister. She has been a hard core Steeler fan for years. Unfortunately for you both I am for AZ. GO CARDINALS!!!

I just couldn’t think of how I could tie my superbowl evening into my nature blog! Good for you!

The great Steelers team was from the 1970s. Franco Harris was their star running back. He played for Penn State when I was a student there. I never met him though.
