Check out this week's (featured animal gallery & article) all about Barn Owls on my homepage!
The Fall 2025 semester of my sophomore year of college will be highlighted by an Honor's Direct Study---I will be studying barn owls and why they are endangered in Michigan, with a focus on conservation and how their decline in numbers has affected the local ecology.
8/31/25 - There are Barn Owl books I need for my studies, I will mark them here as reminder for myself:
'The Barn Owl: Guardian of the Countryside' by Jeff R. Martin , 'The Book of the Barn Owl' by Sally Coulthard ,
'Barn Owl Conservation Handbook' by The Barn Owl Trustfund
- In the process of finding these books, I found (this) cool ass website XD
- I would like to make a zine to accompany my studies to give students something engaging and stimulating to interact with
9/4/25 - I checked out What an Owl Knows by Jennifer Ackerman from my college's libary yesterday. I was approved to start working on my zine idea which is so sick! XD

- 5/4/25 I have been extremely fixated on the bush dog lately!!! they are sooo cute and I feel like if I turned into a canine, I would turn into them! I am going to make my next animal of the day about them. I am so excited to have the time to read more about them!!
- 5/4/25 I am going to do some field research this summer; I am hoping to catch a glimpse of a southern flying squirrel---a most elusive friend! I recently learned you can distinguish their age based upon the shape of their head! I went gaga at this information!
- 5/4/25 I have been seeing chameleons everywhere! They are my lucky charm ^-^ I know I am getting such a wonderful sign, a hug, a kiss on the forehead, encouragement, motivation, comfort, or any postive sign when chameleon crosses my path. I got to buy a tiny chameleon figure today for only $1, it made me so happy! It is my first chameleon trinket I own---about time too! I have been getting signs from the chameleon for years and I am feeling their presence especially so lately and getting signs from everywhere! Thank you, my ever-watching friend.
- 5/4/25 It will never cease to blow my mind that the last pinniped book was published in 1991!!! I want to be the one to make the new and improved version hehehehe.
- 8/18/25 I have been thinking about the Cynognathus a lot the last few days. I find myself wanting to learn more about protomammals and early mammals. I visited a natural history museum near me this summer and was very taken by the Cynognathus; they are so incredibly fascinating. I love being a mammal! It makes me feel so wonderful to be one and to learn about those that came before us. I think I will make a separate page on paleozoology, as I am incredibly interested in the subject. In the process of researching the Cynognathus, I discovered cards from 2003 called Weird n' Wild Creatures... I foresee this becoming a fixation lol.
