What a cool Site!

I am so excited to find this. I am making an account for my eldest child because there are many photographs to upload and label. Right now, in central Oklahoma, we are in the midst of a drought. It has been serious enough to effect the blooming of our native flowers. Meaning that there are not as many blooms and they do not last as long. This has negatively affected our Domestic and Feral honey bee populations. We have also not seen as many hummingbirds at the feeders. Mice have been getting into the house lately, because I suspect they are looking for food and water. Normally that is not a big problem here. This area is also in transition from farmland and pastureland to mcmansionville. So a lot of habitat is being bulldozed under and transformed from flower filled fields and patches of trees, to sterile lawns and paved roads. This in turn is forcing a lot of animals to shift further and further out to rural and semi-rural areas.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about the drought and development, but it's a pretty common story these days, sadly. All the more reason to document what's still alive!

Wow, I just took a look at your page, Impressive! Well I have been over at Discover Life, but mostly doing the Bee Hunter stuff. I want to branch out! I love the Global Amphibian Blitz idea!

you look crazy busy, but I hope you stop back by occasionally and see what I have added.
