The San Francisco gartersnake - one of the USA's most beautiful and endangered snakes. Many people don't believe a bright blue and red snake can be discreet - but when seen in its habitat you can see how these snakes can evade notice.

I keep thinking about the folks trying to break into the environmental/ecological field right now. So many who've had seasonal or permanent jobs ripped out from beneath them, hopeful grad students to-be seeing their opportunities go up in smoke. I don't want them to give up. (1/2)

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

Happy to share that I took bronze in the Over Under category of the Dive Photo Guide Masters Contest with a hellbender image from last year. The other winners can be seen here: www.divephotoguide.com/.../dpg-mast....

An Arizona Black Rattlesnake found one morning in a high elevation stand of ponderosa pine. I was stunned by its beauty and overall mild temperament, extremely similar to that of timber rattlesnakes here in the East. #biology #conservation #wildlife #nature #rattlesnake #sony

Aurora towering above calm lake water in Central Pennsylvania. One of my personal favorites from this past year. #northernlights #landscape #photography #sony #pennsylvania

An absolutely laughable amount of Sonoran Desert Toads (Incilius alvarius) eating insects off of this gas station wall in southern Arizona this past summer. #toad #wildlife #desert #nature

Happy Saturday everyone! Here’s an Eastern Hognose (Heterodon platirhinos) illustration that I’ve been working on for an exciting new project. It’s not quite finished yet but it’s getting there! #procreate #snake #wildlifeart #illustration #art

First post here! No better way to kick it off than with these goofy looking toads found this past spring- The Eastern Spadefoot These goobers spend most of the year underground, emerging only during heavy rainfall to try and find a mate. #wildlife #photography #biology #conservation #amphibians

Eastern Spadefoot Toad, a bumpy and stubby species with large eyes and spade-like feet used to dig into the soil.
