Merry May! - May 1-3

Merry May! I took May 1 off work, so I got to spend the whole long weekend at the Witchwood. Several people commented that they found my last video soothing, and others that they enjoyed my excitement. Those are exactly the things I want to share, so this week I made two videos. One optimized to be calm and soothing, the other to share my excitement. Slow and soothing. Running water, cute critters, pretty flowers. Nature sounds only - no voice: Sharing my excitement about the wonderful creatures and surprises I found this trip: <3

2019 Survey Results

Geographic distribution of observations (provided by iNaturalist ) I set out to survey the flowering plants of my recently-purchased land, which almost immediately expanded to an informal general life survey. I used the incredible tool iNaturalist to track observations. My iNat project is " A Land Like This One ". Thank you to Nathaniel for his contributions and company. Statistics This data was collected over approximately 20 visits from March through December, averaging perhaps 3 hours of active search/exploration time per visit. At the time of writing this... 653 observations 351 research grade* observations 238 taxa 140 research grade species 95 research grade plant species 80 research grade flowering plant species The numbers are strongly skewed by sampling bias and my areas of interest/knowledge: I am most familiar with herbaceous flowering plants. (63% of flowering plant observations are research-grade vs 33% of insects and 7% of fungi)

Colors, Coyotes, and Racoons - October 17-18

I didn't make it to the Witchwood last weekend. It was only the third weekend since March I missed, so that's pretty amazing. The trail cam caught some great sights while I was away though! A veritable swarm of raccoons! Pair of coyote - first time spotted on my land! Unfortunately, the trail cam was low on battery, so I didn't get video of either. I've replaced the batteries, and hopefully they'll be back! It rained a lot the day or two before I arrived, so the brook is running much higher than it has since spring. The sound of the rushing water was so soothing. And the falling leaves make a lovely sound as well.
