Shed hunting in northeastern Iowa in an attempt to clear my head of grief. Didn’t work, but getting outdoors, searching and focused, is where I needed to be.

One of my favorite wildlife watching memories…running through the Bornean forest in search of a wild orangutan.

Herring spawns are very cool because everyone in a hundred miles comes to eat delicious herring roe and/or herring in relatively contained area.

#RodentOfTheDay North American Brown Lemming (Lemmus trimucronatus) "Lemmings are a brown in colour, with an reddish-brown back and rump, while the head and shoulders are grey. In the winter, the coat becomes longer and greyer." Photo/Info: animalia.bio/north-americ...

The northern pikeminnow is one of the most reviled fish in the Pacific Northwest. In a familiar narrative, pikeminnows wrongly get the blame for salmon declines while dams are ignored. #flyfishing

Pair of Florida Gars swim among the cypress trees in the Everglades; we got to walk right alongside them! Our National Parks are incredible and MUST be protected; our federal workers are integral to natural resource conservation!

Entertaining myself during an on-campus staff meeting by keeping tabs on the various euphemisms being used instead of directly talking about the uncertainty: "the current times" "the present climate" "the political landscape" and my favorite so far: "the things that are maybe coming"

An important, gut-wrenching, infuriating book. As an Eagle Scout, I was lucky to never experience this abuse. But, even as a kid fully involved in Scouts, I recognized an unhealthy culture. I valued the outdoor experiences but not the bullying & irresponsible adult supervision of scout camp.

Wrapping up my 14th trip to Yellowstone National Park, one of my favorite places. The story of the National Park Service here is one of conservation successes & significant errors & learning from both. I never fail to be inspired by the wildlife, the geology & the conservation history.

When the spray from a geyser freezes & accumulates it can create a “ghost tree,” like this one overlooking Lake Yellowstone.

As a foreigner, I've found claims of American exceptionalism to mostly fall short in most areas. But not the parks. The parks are the best in the world. The most breathtaking, the most well-maintained, the most accessible and affordable. Please don't harm them.
