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.

What a nice trip that must have been – even with the lousy weather! Love the shot showing the surf with the Willet in the middleground.

Chincoteague must be a birding place!

Those are fantastic photos. You captured that bird’s personality, ha. It sure looks peaceful there. I can almost hear the ocean.

The many moods of a Willet.

Believe it or not, I have never seen the ocean. Kind of sad really…Must go when I get the chance.

Oh what a nice series of Willet photos!

I love to see pictures (if I can’t see them in person) of shorebirds sticking those big long bills into the sand. Especially when the sand feels like concrete to my feet when walking on it. It is amazing that they can poke their bills into the sand and bring out something to eat too.

What a great series of shots of the Willet.

Great Willet series – I love how their drab coloring belies their contrasty wings!

What great pictures Tom!

Great shots and personalization, Monarch! I’m surprised there was only one lonely looking willet there. No other shorebirds there either. Mmmmm. It looks like you had a very nice trip. Looking forward to seeing your other photos.
