I've been so busy, I forgot to share this post from the Homer Chamber of Commerce! Ten of the volunteers who operate the visitor center in Homer, along with Mary and Mandy from Rainbow Tours came over for a familiarization tour on Saturday, May 24th. I had a good time showing them around Seldovia and hope they'll spread the word about how much fun it is here!

Seldovia has a Botanist in Residence this month! I’m so excited and have already had a great time botanizing with Celie Dailey during last week’s Bioblitz. This morning we explored Susan Lake’s wetlands and found lots of cool plants. The sundews (Drosera rotindifolia) were a surprise; they are CARNIVOROUS like Venus flytraps. Raaaawwwrrrrr!

1) Sundew (Drosera rotundifolia)
2) Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata)
3) Wild geranium (Geranium erianthum)
4) Marsh Labrador tea (Rhododendron tomentosum)
5) a mystery!
6) Nagoonberry (Rubus arcticus)
7) Sitka willow (Salix sitchensis)
8) Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus)
9) Dwarf marsh violet (Violet epipsiloides)

Seldovia Bioblitz Day Four: BIRDS!
Eight humans saw and mostly heard 19 species of birds at the RV park, campground, and Outside Beach this morning. [These photos are not from today, but are pretty good representatives of what we observed.]
1) Fox Sparrow, one bird we got to see clearly. I discovered they are daytime singers (they must like to get some shut-eye.)
2) Hermit Thrush, mostly a deep forest bird, easily heard but not so easily seen.
3) Harlequin Duck (male), in festive garb.
4) Pigeon Guillemot, seen from the tops of the cliffs.
5) Song Sparrow, likes the nooks and crannies.
6) Surf Scoters, waaaaay out far, seen through the spotting scope.
7) Eight intrepid birders came out to see what our avian friends might be up to. Four of these folks (Tania, Celie, Adeline, and Edith) came to all four days of the Bioblitz!
8) I hiked to the RV Park last night and set up my tent, so I could listen to the evening song and dawn chorus (even though it never really gets dark this time of year.) I did add one bird to our list: Wilson’s Snipe! I heard them both winnowing and calling during the wee hours. Tania and Isadora surprised me by showing up in the morning with hot coffee and a super deluxe breakfast. It was a perfect way to start the last day of the Bioblitz!

Shout out to for curing my HANGER today! Super delish curry and oh my! That samosa was absolutely dreamy!
(Obviously, I skipped outta Seldovia today on non-nature tours business, but if you’re in Homer I highly recommend this place. Yum.)

Seldovia Bioblitz Day One: Intertidal Zone!
We got a huge turnout of superstar field biologists and other curious humans, checking out the interesting creatures at low tide. (I didn’t take many pictures but did ask the sea stars if I could take selfies with them.)
