I currently work as a heritage interpreter / professional naturalist (sometimes aka "ranger") with Parks Canada. I have also worked as a nature and hiking tour guide and a wildlife biologist. I am an avid nature photographer with an interest in many nature-related subjects.

Ma langue maternelle, c'est le français. Yo hablo y entiendo algo español también. Ich spreche und verstehe etwas Deutsch auch.
I have served as an editor on Bug Guide. Entomologically speaking, I am especially passionate about Odonata, Butterflies, Grasshoppers, Lady Beetles and some other groups of insects, although the number of groups I dive deeper into seems to grow every year, as it should, I guess :) More recently, I have been spending a lot of time getting to know certain pollinator groups, especially bees (Anthophila) and flower flies (Syrphidae), but I have a lot of work to do there, for sure.

I have been birding since 1987 and enjoy that quite a bit as well. While you will find quite a few of my bird records here, I have recently worked hard at getting all my historical bird records into eBird. All things considered, it is likely a better platform for recording bird observations in general, so my bird records there will eventually be a better reflection of my efforts recording bird observations since I started way back in 1987, but I will certainly also post many observations here with links to the e-bird checklists.
