Hi! Thanks for stopping by. I'm a practiced gardener and naturalist in Portland, Oregon, most passionate about dragonflies and gardening for wildlife. When not at home in our garden, we spend our time exploring Oregon, with a keen eye for odonata, birds, herps and fungi.

• OSU Certified Oregon Naturalist
• Bird Alliance of Oregon (prev Portland Audubon) - volunteer
• Backyard Habitat Certification Program - site certifier
• Friends of the Willamette Valley National Wildlife Refuge Complex - board member
• iNaturalist - monthly supporter/contributor

• Our Oregon Odonata: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/foo-forrester-oregon-odonata
• Our Oregon Birds: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/fob-forrester-oregon-birds

I am working to improve my identification skills, especially in Odonata. Misidentifications are possible, as I am always learning. If you feel I have made an ID in error, please let me know why so I can learn and improve.
