I'm a botanist, moth-er, birder, and naturalist based in Santa Cruz County, Arizona, United States...and more recently, in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada. I'm always learning, and I make my share of mistakes, so feel free to question an ID! In 2020, I finished a flora of the Salero Ranch in central Santa Cruz County (open access: https://canotia.org/volume16.php), followed by a flora of nearby Coal Mine Canyon (open access: https://canotia.org/volume19.php). In 2017, Richard Felger, Jesús Sánchez-Escalante, and I published a flora of Nacapule Canyon near San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico (open access: https://tumamoc.arizona.edu/oasis-desert-edge-flora-nacapule-canyon). Our flora of the Guaymas region (The Desert Edge: Flora of the Guaymas–Yaqui Region of Sonora, Mexico; Felger et al.) is published and available for download (free) or print-on-demand ($): https://shopbritpress.org/products/desert-edge-flora-of-guayamas-yaqui-region-of-sonora-mexico-vol-i?variant=40217088655422. Current projects include assisting on a flora of the Santa Rita Mountains (Pima and Santa Cruz counties) and completing a checklist of the plants of Santa Cruz County.
