Building on the nature study post from yesterday, I wanted to add one of my favorite links;

Observations Of A Naturalist by Boyd Shaffer. It features illustrated articles (illustrated by Boyd) about nature by a man who knows it well. I studied the field botany of southcentral Alaska in Boyd’s class at Kenai Peninsula College in 1996. Boyd used to run an organization called the Kenai Peninsula Botanical Society, of which I was a member for years. Future generations of naturalists would be well served by reading everything he’s written.
