Your local field naturalist groups

Hi everyone ! thanks for joining...I look forward to some lively topics of discussion in this group ! I thought a good place to start is if we posted a link to our local/regional naturalist group. Here are mine :

Thanks for the invitation Jo. I can't say that I know of a local group. I'm sure there are some - I just don't know about them. You timing setting up this group is interesting as I'd recently pulled Edward O. Wilson's The Diversity of Life off the shelf to re-read, as well as The Blind Watchmaker.

I'll also take a stab and mention a bi-weekly newspaper that might interest some of the folks in the Western part of the US in this group. http://www.hcn.org

I volunteered for a summer as a naturalist intern at CORE www.coreresearch.org aboard the Yankee Fleet Whale Watch, based out of Gloucester, MA. Mostly we were on the lookout for humpbacks and fin whales, though occasionally we saw some Atlantic white-sided dolphins and basking sharks. In terms of birding, I mainly recall Wilson's Storm Petrels and a few others. The whale sitings and behavior data was recorded and logged into WhaleNet, which is based out of Wheelock College, I believe. http://whale.wheelock.edu/Welcome.html

Well, this is a bit bird-centric, but here's my organization: http://www.ctbirding.org/
