  • Trail Manners Matter
    May 22 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! This week, I am getting up on my soap box to talk about trail etiquette. Too often I see trails being abused and people disrespecting others that use the trails. I understand that many people don’t know the proper etiquette for trail usage, so I’m here to hopefully bring it to more peoples attention. Enjoy your listening.

  • Sunrise Therapy
    May 15 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! This week, I am up before the sun to enjoy the morning chorus of birds and to watch the sky magically change colors as the sun rises above the horizon. I’ll discuss the health benefits of stopping the business of life to watch the sunrise or sunset as well as talking about the scientific reasons behind the vibrant colors. Enjoy your listening.

  • Nature Up Close: Wonders Under the Lens
    May 8 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer! This week, we’re heading into nature to see the things we often miss. We’ll be taking a closer look at the amazing close-up world of nature as we peer through our magnifying glass. Grab your magnifying glass and join me for an adventure up close.

    The spider I couldn't remember the name of in the episode is known as a white crab spider. I can't believe I forgot what it was called.

  • Spring Peepers: The Frogs Who Won’t Shut Up (and We Love Them For It)
    May 1 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me on another episode of The Nature Wanderer!This week, we’re heading to the wetlands to meet one of spring’s smallest—and loudest—harbingers: the spring peeper! These tiny chorus frogs may be hard to spot, but you’ve probably heard their high-pitched calls echoing through the evening air. This week we’ll explore how these little amphibians signal the health of our ecosystems and remind us why protecting even the smallest creatures matters.

  • Moonlight Rhythms: A Wandering Through the Lunar Phases
    Apr 10 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me. Join me today as I look to the heavens to explore why the moon looks different throughout the month. I realized while teaching this subject to a class of middle school students how little people know about why we have phases of the moon. So wander outdoors under the night sky and enjoy the journey into astronomy.

  • Whispers of Spring: How Nature Signals the Change
    Apr 3 2025

    Thanks for wandering through nature with me. Join me today in the wilds as I look for the signs of spring. From birds exhibiting courtship behaviors to swelling buds on the plant, I seek out all the ways that nature begins a new chapter after a long winters rest. And yes, a phonologist is a person who studies phonology. So grab your hiking stick or a comfy chair by the window and let’s head out on a journey to discover the nature around us.
