Specific interests include mainly birds, butterflies, dragonflies & damselflies, also entire ecosystem level phenomena. And of course, simply spending leisure time in nature needs no mention. I like to go on bird and butterfly walks & have conducted surveys, both on and off campuses, often with WWF. I prefer short groups for these walks. Oh yes..love photography!
