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 great interview, Tom! I haven’t been following your blog too long, so I knew very little about you. Thank you for sharing YOU in that interview. Congratulations on the recognition. From what I have seen on your blog, the recognition is well deserved.

Congrats Monarch. I love bird photos showing birds doing something other than sitting there looking pretty. Great shots.

Hi Tom!
Congratulations on a well-deserved honor. That’s my bird watching class in the first picture! Thanks for using it. Wait til I tell all the kids to look for themselves on the Internet! And thanks for all you do to open up the world of nature to all.
Great interview. I always knew you were special.

I love the photo Tom. That was a great interview! You talked a lot more in depth about blogging than I would have expected. You deserve a lot of credit for being so consistently good over the years.
