    Hi all, I've been following ZooChat for a bit and thought I'd jump in. Like most people here, I'm a zoo and wildlife enthusiast. I've been to about 70 zoos, mostly in the Midwestern and Northeastern USA. As for wildlife, my life lists stand at 197 mammals, 748 birds, 256 reptiles, 105 amphibians, and 186 fishes. Looking forward to contributing where I can.

    Thanks for the welcome everyone. I'm a pretty hopeless photographer, but I'll try and post some shots for species that are not well represented in the gallery.
