The Thirty-Day Challenge

I have entered this blog in the 2013 WordCount Blogathon. This means that I will post every day for thirty days, until the end of June. I did this last year with my writing blog.

KL’s Sonoran Nature Journal has been around a lot longer than the writing blog. I began writing it in the early nineties, soon after I moved to the beautiful Sonoran Desert. I migrated the blog to the web when Blogger became available, ten years ago, and added photos a few years after that.

(For a look at my early posts, check August of 2003. There’s an amusing look at a coyote and its reaction to water in our usually dry Rillito river (August 16), as well as a piece on bird dominance and the beginning of my obsession with Gambel’s quail families.) .

My main focus has been and continues to be the beautiful plants and animals I see daily in my yard and other locations in the Tucson area. I am especially interested in the behavior of birds and other animals. I also love to learn new things, and love to teach them to others as well.

Please join my journey into the natural history of the Sonoran Desert. You can subscribe on this page, if you like. I welcome comments and questions, and will always answer them.
