Birding
While visiting my parents in the summer of 2021 I became fascinated by a pair of Eastern Towhees that decided to nest in my mom’s lilac bush. I started actively birding and listing after finishing my dissertation in 2022. Below is a sampling of photos taken during my birding adventures.
You can access my eBird profile here.
I have also begun expanding my naturalist interests into other areas, especially wasps, bees, moths, and butterflies. My iNaturalist profile is here.
