I was wondering why I had abandoned this blog that I have enjoyed writing, even if only for my own record, and realized that since 2016 I've started making much more use of Facebook to post interesting observations in this woodlot. Then before the pandemic, I had been introduced to other citizen-science websites like iNaturalist where I could share postings of flora and fauna and with a like-minded community who would share their observations being their own or provide comments on yours.
The draw of the alternatives, has completely diminished my interest in returning to this blog, other than to maybe share a story with friend on email that aren't on FB or iNaturalist.
iNaturalist is international at iNaturalist.org as well there is a Canadian version at iNaturalist.ca. Unfortunately, I find the Canadian version limiting, as it always wants to filter observations to Canada. It is much more appealing to see the distribution of the plants and animals worldwide.
If you are intrested, my iNaturalist username is Leanhoser, and the observations can be viewed at:

I am now up to 684 observations in iNaturalist, although admittedly many are repetitive.
