I am an environmental historian and this blog is all about wildlife in the United States. I grew up camping and fishing in the Midwest hearing coyotes howl all around me. At the time, I didn’t think much about them. I wasn’t afraid of them even though the howls were a bit spooky on winter nights. In college, I discovered Coyote America: A Natural and Supernatural History by historian Dan Flores. It reshaped my perspective on coyotes and frankly every predator we share the landscape with. I’ve been on a decade-long research journey exploring the history and ecology of bears, coyotes, wolves, otters, and many other species. Now, I want to share my findings with the world!

Like Thomas Jefferson, I believe our nation's wildlife holds its own against anywhere else on Earth. My goal is simple. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I want to share that love with readers. I can’t guarantee a regular publishing schedule but I hope you subscribe (feature tba) to get notified of any new articles.
