Charles Darwin
Thursday (Feb 12, 2009) is Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday! Happy Birthday Chuck! I had to pull my dust covered copy out today and do a little celebrating! NPR has also been celebrating his birthday with many great discussions and stories!

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.

I’m an NPR junkie – I’ll have to tune in for the Darwin stories! Love the nuthatch photo – he looks so friendly!

Happy birthday, Chuck!
A forward thinker, Darwin. I wonder what innovation he would contribute to the world, were he still in it.

Amazing that two such illustrious men–Abe Lincoln and Chas Darwin–were born on the same day, same year.

The NYTimes Science section on Tuesday was all about Darwin. A couple of excellent pieces.
He was a true genius, and a brave man.

I’ll have to point out this post to my hubby (who’s been working on “the Darwin book” for a while now.)

No mention of Darwin on CNN this morning–I will have to listen to NPR.

Kind of ironic that we were just talking about Darwin in Biology the other week, also, along with Darwin, today is President Lincoln’s 200th birthday!
