I've had a life-long interest in the natural world and presently enjoy nature photography. Originally from Long Island, NY, I have been living in Southern California for over 30 years. I just learned of the existence of iNaturalist from a birding friend, and am thoroughly enjoying this fantastic platform/database and the amazing folks who contribute. I've also started to maintain an Instagram account with some of the photographs I've taken in the last year or so: https://www.instagram.com/tommills23/
