I grew up in British Columbia but am now based in Southern California, currently working with Least Terns and Snowy Plovers in San Diego. Birds have been my main focus for the past 10 years but I can thank iNaturalist and its users for an increasing interest in nudibranchs, bees, flies, springtails, and so much more.

If you're curious about how I arrived at an identification, please feel free to ask and I'll try my best to provide an explanation.

Consider reporting any sightings of banded birds to reportband.gov
