Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.
As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”
Never heard of an invasive worm, before. How could it travel? In the soil of imported plants? What species is it. Looks like good bait. Is imported fish bait another possible vector?
In the beginning, at least for those parts of the US scraped by glaciers, the existing worms went the way of the topsoil… the worms we know now are imports and introductions, and they’re really quite bad for forest regeneration.

Mathew, you should probably consider to make and offer wall calendars with some of your pictures. I would love to get one!
Better a volume of photos as a book. Nobody uses a paper calendar anymore. Wait, nobody reads books anymore, either. How about a series of neckties and socks with your photos as art work on them? T-shirts are do cliche.
