When grizzly bears showed up in essentially my backyard, I was elated! After observing them over period of weeks I had some recurring questions that I investigated.
Backyard River Otters
Living right next to a creek means lots of creatures come through, including North American River Otters! I explore their behavior and try and decipher what I see on the wildlife cameras I set upon their “activity center.”
Who is this bizarre creature? Ft. The Candelabrum.
When dock fouling in Monterey, CA I stumbled upon one of the weirdest creatures, and even had trouble placing it into a phylum!
Who is this bizarre creature? Ft. The Caecilian.
Took a deeper look into the caecilian, a unique amphibian who stumbled into me while bird watching in Ecuador in early 2020.
Who are you? Ft. The Daggerpod.
Thriving in a wind, cool, and dry climate the Daggerpod is an incredible plant. It was a joy to stumble upon while backpacking near Carson Pass.
