Itinerant ecology fiend, expert bushwhacker, and recovering birder. I am usually somewhere in the Pacific Northwest, usually working some kind of field job involving birds, and in ideal circumstances, far from civilization.

I know some things about plants and birds generally, but lately I've specialized in conifers, Erythranthe monkeyflowers, and serpentine flora of the Klamath and North Coast ranges. Feel free to tag me if you find something interesting or need an ID.

Despite no longer identifying as a birder, a lot of my passive awareness of birds somehow manifests as field notes and gets entered into eBird (where my username is also Drew Meyer). I also post about my adventures on Instagram (@nerdboybird) if you like ecology rants and pictures of weird landscapes.
