Avid birder and nature photographer. Located in Timiskaming District, Ontario, Canada. Interested in all natural things in the area where I live. I spend a fair amount of time at Hilliardton Marsh.

My bird observations are on eBird, and not duplicated here.

Note that the photos on all of my observations are both cropped and down-sampled from the originals. If any researchers would like access to full resolution originals, please send me a note.

I'm a bit of a data enthusiast, so I really like tables and lists. Here are a few:

My iNat Firsts. Observations that were the first identified record on iNaturalist for a given taxon.
My Canada Firsts. Observations that were the first identified iNat record in Canada for a given taxon.
My Ontario Firsts. Observations that were the first identified iNat record for the province of Ontario for a given taxon.
My Northern Ontario Firsts. Observations that were the first identified iNat record in Northern Ontario for a given taxon. (I am defining "Northern Ontario" to be north of the 46th parallel, which runs roughly through the North Channel of Georgian Bay, passing just south of Powassan, and continuing east across the very top of Algonquin Provincial Park. This line is shown on most standard Ontario road maps.)
My Timiskaming District Firsts. Observations that were the first identified iNat record for a given taxon in Timiskaming District, Northeastern Ontario.
Northernmost Ontario record. My observations that are the furthest north in Ontario for a given taxon. (This status may change as others encounter this taxon in Northern Ontario, so I will try to revisit this list regularly to keep it accurate.)

All lists are presented with the most recent observations displayed first.
