I found myself without a job. While searching for work I also continued searching for wildlife, especially birds. I discovered a pair of
Peregrine Falcons that were overwintering in my town. I reported these birds to the state and was given the naming rights to them, naming them Charles and Isabella after Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, and his Queen Isabella who in exchange for the use of the island of Malta by the Knights Hospitaller, were given a Peregrine Falcon each year. And it was a sneaky way of naming one of them after myself without appearing like a raging narcissist.

In 2013 I was given a weekly column in the

I'm always looking to learn new things, and if you like teaching, I'm all ears. I am trying to be a better wikipedian. Coding is somewhat alien to me. I'd love to learn more about night sky photography and even astrophotography.
