Northern Minnesota, January 2024

I am a mammal watcher in my 40’s based in the United States.  I have been working on my mammal list since 2003.  My travels tend to be longer and budget/mid range in cost.  I am also interested in other wildlife, particularly birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and cephalopods.  My curse animal is the Star-nosed Mole.  They are in the yard I grew up in, and still spend time in, but I have yet to see one.  I travel a lot for work, some of which is working with mammals.  I normally work the eastern endangered bat presence/absence season, as well as occasionally getting to do some spotlight surveys.   My wife also enjoys wildlife watching.
