My latest article is on the snakes of the San Francisco Bay Area and how to find them for BayNature Magazine. Snake seeking is the new bird-watching! I'm a bit biased but I'd say there is some fun natural history to learn in there, even if you're not local. baynature.org/article/hith...

I 1000% believe environmental reporting is as important or more so than any other field. And that it's critical to remember species we've lost along the way. But still didn't expect to find myself in that crowd. Thanks so much to BayNature for making reporting like this possible.

Years ago, scientists discussed introducing the canine carnivores to control the island’s deer population. Now it seems coyotes have since crossed over on their own and settled in, Jillian Magtoto writes.
