I have always had an interest in natural history. It is how I was raised by my parents. and vastly influenced my career choices. Since retiring I purchased a camera that has GPS tagging capabilities so that what I see and record I can upload and get expert help in identification. I also use eBird and BugGuide for help with identifications. This and these other programs are great places to share the photos that I am learning to take and when I get what I think is a really good one it is great to be able to share it with an appreciative audience.
