The Natural World: Brown Pelican

The Natural World Has Moved!

For a fresh start, The Natural World has moved to a new address at thenaturalworldconnections.wordpress.com. In regards to this blog, I've learned a lot in the years since I've started this blog, and I've definitely learned a lot about fact checking. Only in the last year or so have I gotten better about fact-checking, using more credible and reliable sources, and citing those sources. So if you're reading a post from before 2014, use a bit of caution. I look forward to providing all of you with the most accurate and up-to-date information that I can in the coming years. Thanks for your support!
