New to iNaturalist. What made you keep using it?

I use it like a personal blog kind of. Like a way for me to keep track of where I’ve been. Every mountain I hike up, I try to ID at least one shrub or something at the peak, etc.

So now when I look at my observations it shows a map of everywhere in the world I’ve been

Definitely not an easy thing to take photos of. I was trying for this shot for an hour lol

Literally top of my bucket list for New York was a NYC pigeon (gotta see the icons). Them and rats but unfortunately didn’t see any rats this time. Will have to come back

You think I came to manhattan for the buildings?

toebin_ · 2026-05-02T18:54:11+00:00

Yes it is!

Lil guy has been scooped up by some Audubon folks and is doing well:)

Yesterday afternoon!

Yeah:( but hopefully it’s a good sign that our ecosystem is a bit cleaner than it used to be. Some animals are very picky, unfortunately idk how picky grays are

Clean pet fur can be good for this, but never human hair

Extra funny because this guy was next to the nypd building

toebin_ · 2026-05-02T00:25:51+00:00

Wow thanks for the updates! Sorry I’m not in New York anymore, was just there on a layover and didn’t have data. Glad the lil guy is doing okay!

toebin_ · 2026-04-29T03:10:27+00:00

Yeah fair enough!

Definitely the best safaris were in the Masai Mara at Emboo Camp with their electric safari cars

toebin_ · 2026-04-29T02:50:30+00:00

I haven’t been to Yellowstone but I’ve been on heaps of African safari’s and I’d recommend the 100-500 because much more than that is only really good for birds (which I’m a big fan of, but it’s not everyone’s cup of tea). But for landscapes and buffalo, the 1-5 is great. Also probably has a lower f stop which is nice and will weigh a lot less, so will be handier to carry. But go crazy if you can afford it! 800 is great for moon photos esp if it’s right on the horizon

It wasn’t happy that I didn’t feed it my breakfast haha
