Natural History Wanderings is a blog I created to share natural history explorations, especially wildflower travels and photos. Most posts will be from California, usually northern, as that is where I am based but may include anywhere. The main emphasis of the blog will be to share what is currently happening at different locations. I will also include things I find of interest as I wander around the web as well as my own wanderings and those submitted by others. I will post information on where to find information on wildflower blooms, fall foliage, birds, trips, workshops, classes, and other resources to natural history wanderers.
I have several pages that are collections of resources:
- The Talks, Walks, Workshops page links to natural history organizations that offer hikes, trips, talks, and classes. If you are looking to learn more about natural history or find a group to go out with this is the place to look.
- The Wildflower Reports: What’s Blooming Where page links to many wildflower bloom sites as well as a link to a list of current wildflower reports posted on Natural History Wanderings.
- Fall Foliage has links to fall color reports, locations, drives, walks and fall foliage photography tips. It has sections on Nationwide U.S., Canada and California.
- The Birding page includes North American Birding websites and locations, Bird Photography Tips , Bird Festivals list (primarily in California), California Birding websites and locations , Bay Area Birding Locations and Bird Reports that have been posted on Natural History Wanderings
Blogroll is a list of blogs, websites, and discussion groups that cover natural history and nature photography that I follow regularly.
I continue to update the pages and blogroll as I become of aware of new resources so check back periodically. To see a larger version of any photo in the blog just click on it. All errors are most likely mine.

Central Texas, where I am, is pretty far afield from the West Coast, but if you’d like an occasional glance at the flora (and some fauna) available here, you may find it enjoyable to check out
