Hello from eastern Oregon! I love being outside and looking at things, and I especially love to know what I'm looking at. I went to college in Maine and grad school/work in North Carolina, then was in the Puget Sound region of Washington for several years. I've been in eastern Oregon since 2006, where I work as a biologist for a consulting firm. Freshwater mussels, snails, birds, butterflies, dragonflies, plants, I dabble in everything.
