Endangered. Extinction. Research. Conservation. These are the words that define so much of our conversations about the natural world today. The chapter titles of Feather Trails: A Journey of Discovery Among Endangered Birds represent both ends of the spectrum: “A World Full of Poisons,” “Malaria,” “Forest Intruders,” “Lead Shock,” “Shot.” But also: “Delisted,” “Growing Up,” […]
Hi, I’m Christopher! Read my introduction to learn more about me and my silly Russian Blue cat, Olga. Cats have a reputation for being more mysterious and spiritual than other animals, and while I’m amazed by their actions and respect their cunning minds, I don’t think they’re psychic or telepathic.

According to the eBird description, it is everything I […]
I was really excited to go on a pet shop trip! I even used the litter box before going without my human having to prompt me. But then we got there and saw someone with a dog had parked moments before us! So my human decided we should wait and see how long they took […]
