Evolutionary biologist by training, educator by passion. Interested in almost everything, but especially reptiles (non-avian and avian). Willing to contort body to get camera closer for a better photo.

I deeply appreciate those experts (academic, professional, or hobbyist) who actively identify records on iNaturalist, including my own. I have learned so much from your generosity, and continue to learn. Thank you!

Most of my identifications to iNaturalist records are categorizing untagged/unclassified observations to high taxonomic levels. I hope that these records will see some attention from experts rather than disappearing into the very large "unknown taxon" haystack.
