2026 Smith Fellowship apps are open! I'd love to chat with potential postdocs about projects on freshwater biodiversity, Nature-based Solutions, & wetland conservation. Reach out if the Wildlife & Water Lab at the Odum School of Ecology is up your alley!

As a naturalist, I treasure meeting the non-human denizens of any new place I travel. This past week, I got to set foot in an island tropical rainforest for the first time in years thanks to #SFS2025 in Puerto Rico. What stunning forests!

Thanks for sharing, what an awesome conference!

Good morning! Here’s an adorable dagger moth (Acronicta sp.) snoozing on a log to help start your week.

Stunning!

Wow, absolutely stunning photo, what a delightful and maligned creature

Prior to #SFS2025, I was honored to meet one of Puerto Rico’s most eminent freshwater experts, the common coquí (Eleutherodactylus coqui) 😍🐸

A handsome skink (Plestiodon sp.) I met while birdwatching in North Georgia last week 😍🦎

My trusty backpack accompanied me in checking out some beautiful karst hills in a small park in Puerto Rico. Two lifebirds on the way up. What a lovely spot for nature-watching!😍🌿

Oh thank you for the invite! I do research on birds and talk about my bird adventures past and present here and there. I’d love to!

Today is the last day to oppose the gutting of the Endangered Species Act, I just did and it’s not hard:

Consistently the reddest bird I have ever seen, with the I’iwi as the only rival I’ve come across

May have met my first Yellow stone (Eccoptura xanthenes), a handsome creekdweller, while birdwatching this morning. 😍
