Welcome to The Nerdy Naturalist! I am a naturalist based out of the Southern United States. The natural world has fascinating me since I could be fascinated.

Here you’ll find portraits of the native flora and fauna that I come across, wildlife photography sprinkled throughout, and my thoughts about the natural world, more specifically what the natural world means to me.
