On a recent field trip, our master naturalist class was treated to something really neat.

Monarchs are not the only butterflies to migrate through our area this time of year. 

I think most of you guys realize that I have a real fondness for sharks!

As a kid, about this time of year, my friends and I would collect mistletoe to sell door to door in the neighborhood.

For this nature note...I thought it would be interesting to relate a story that happened to us one evening.

The other white meat!

am generally not one to "anthropomorphize" animals but this  experience from a few years ago really got me thinking.

I sat on the edge of the jon boat balancing myself as I donned fins and a mask preparing to snorkel after my elusive quarry. 

I sure remember the first time I got really "tagged" by a blue crab. 

I realize a few of you guys have heard this before but...I just love this story!

The Biting of the Shrew!

I never claimed to be a bat expert, but when I was called one afternoon to check out a large colony from a nearby residence, I jumped at the opportunity.
