who & why

My photo
Katie (Nature ID)
I enjoy hiking and observing nature. I created Nature ID to help me learn more about the local natural world by documenting what, when, and where.
View my complete profile

welcome!

I make no claim to be an expert. Nature ID is my personal learning tool. I essentially stopped adding to this blog in early 2015. Much of it is old information. I sometimes update past entries and pages as I discover more information. It's still a work in progress.

~ what: I try to include common names, scientific names, and embedded links to more informative sites as I look up IDs.
~ when: Unlike typical blogs, most entries on Nature ID are backdated to the actual date of my photos, with few exceptions like wordless Wednesday.
~ where: CA locations are noted in the labels with an 'x', CA counties are noted with a 'y', and non-CA places are noted with a 'z'.

To navigate within Nature ID, use labels located at the bottom of every post, index to Nature ID, grouped indices, or hiking/ observation dates as shown below.

Please comment, help ID, link forward, and learn along with me.

~ quick tip: click any photo to see it larger.

"I have a sneaking impression that the mystery, wonder, and the urge of their pure beauty, are going to force me to picture and paint our moths and put them into a book for all the world to see and know."

I also have a Flickr account and have contributed a few select photos to CalPhotos. I do NOT participate in Creative Commons licenses, and I am choosing the CalPhotos Use Only option.

If you would like to use anything of mine presented on Nature ID, Flickr, or CalPhotos, please ask for prior permission through comments or gmail: Jo Kyung Ee. Your request would make my day!

Every picture posted on Nature ID was created by me or my husband Andy. As a matter of integrity for a blog about nature I encounter, I never post others' photos, diagrams, or videos given to me or grabbed from the internet, even if they are licensed for personal, non-commercial use.

Plus, I try to limit my writing to my own observations and well-known facts. I have a healthy dose of skepticism of anything found on the internet, especially when misinformation and plagiarism are common. I will always ask for permission to quote any private e-mails, e.g., expert IDs.

In order to provide richness of content for my readers and to track my sources, I frequently embed links to more informative sites. If you prefer that I not link to your site, please let me know and I will promptly and cheerfully remove your links.

Additionally, if you find a link does not work or requires a log-in, I'd appreciate if you let me know in the comment section of that particular post.

thanks, everyone!
