I've been immersed in nature since I was a young lad, fishing at the local creek for shiners or biking in the woods close to my house. Nature has always fascinated me. I started IDing and watching birds in 2000 and quickly moved to vocal identification. Now that I am trying to convert my yard into wildflower prairie for the birds and my honeybees, I have sought to understand and learn about the local plants that show up in my yard and in the woods around the Fox Valley in WI. I am also interested in foraging, so identifying has been a part of that as well.
