Introduction - Vision

Hey,

I'm Doug, an enthusiastic amateur backyard naturalist. It was also my dream to try to ID everything on the property where I lived. Since 2019, we own our own property, and I've found iNat to be the perfect tool to learn and document all the species I observe here. It's my new addiction, basically a remedy to reading too much news lately.

I've always been interested in learning about local ecology, and have lots of backlogged photos of things I'd probably never get around to identifying, but the crowdsource magic of iNat makes it possible. So, I've been uploading old photos.

My dream is to go through some historical photos, my family has been on this land for a few generations, and do some then/now to document some of the huge trees nearby. My first was this paper birch in the front yard, which I found a photo from nearly 40 years ago:

My other highlights have been getting into "herp"ing and finding many of the local blue racers since moving here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&subview=table&taxon_id=27146&user_id=dooug&verifiable=any

Hope someday to share with my family and friends, so they can join the fun.
