The Nature Blog Network is growing by leaps and bounds. Since the beginning of the month, we’ve accepted 13 more superb sites. Please welcome these bold new nature bloggers by visiting their sites:
BIRDS
Birdchick – I’m thrilled that my friend Sharon finally figured out how to install the NBN code, even if it means that she might displace 10,000 Birds as the top Birds blog! Hers stated mission is to show the world that you can be a birder without being a geek, but she goes a lot further than that in promoting birding.
Liberating Wings – Unitarian Universalist minister, avian veterinarian, vegetarian. LoraKim Joyner believes that the birds cannot flourish if the human heart cannot heal, and the human heart cannot heal without knowing the great depth of suffering and beauty in all life.
Daniels birdblog – Check out this blog about birds, butterflies, moths and other aspects of nature coming straight out of Svartådalen, The Black River Valley, in the county Västmanland, Sweden.
Birding in New Jersey – Jeanette and Dan are relatively new birders and photographers enjoying birding all over the great state of New Jersey (!) as well as the company of many of its great birders. What is it about the Garden State that inspires such passion for nature?
Portland Oregon Backyard Birds – Seth and Michelle from Portland, OR continue to be amazed and delighted everyday with their little backyard visitors and love to share stories and photos with other birders from all over the world.
RadleyIce – I’m going to enjoy following this one. Radd Icenoggle is a native Montanan who has spent a lifetime as an outdoors and wildlife enthusiast. He also appears to have a fondness for beer!
Wildlife Photographic Journal – Richard Steel presents a stunning collection of animal and birds photographs, mainly from the UK and Europe. I can see why he’s won awards for his work.
ECOSYSTEM
Marcia Bonta – Marcia describes herself modestly as a naturalist writer based in central Pennsylvania. I’ll embellish and add that Marcia, author of nine books and over 300 magazine articles, is an outstanding, engaging naturalist writer.
OH, FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE! – Allie is currently working on her masters in journalism at Hofstra University, focusing on science and medical writing. She has been passionate about conservation since about the age of 5, even though she probably didn’t know what to call it at the time.
Potspoon! – This intriguingly titled blog promises science, food, art, music, and the meanderings of a wannabe wildlife filmmaker.
Northwest Natural Moments Photoblog – As Bernie puts it, “Every Picture paints a story of the World. My World explores Wildlife. The Wild Way of Life is My Nature. This is My Story.” Great pics!
FLORA
Watching the World Wake Up – A Salt Lake City amateur botanist and avid cyclist seeks to observe and understand flora and fauna of the Wasatch Front. There’s a lot more going on than Utah flora here… this world traveler tackles all manner of interesting international outdoor-related topics.
HIKING & OUTDOORS
