As some of you know, despite retiring from high tech, I have been approximately 10,000,000 times busier now. My latest pet project is being field trip coordinator for the Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival. I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into when I first signed up. Right now, we are exactly a week before the festival starts, then, a week after the festival, I will be headed to Costa Rica. I was thinking about pausing the blog for a month, but after 9 years of uninterrupted daily posts, I just couldn't do it.
But then I remembered a project I've had on the back burner for a while. You see, despite my self-delusions, it turns out, I am not infallible (I can hear your gasps of shock from here). Occasionally I have made some errors or accidental omissions on the blog. So, instead of getting out and taking photos, I have gone back through my iNaturalist submissions, and for the next few weeks will be posting some old photos that I either completely misidentified the first time around, or I did not have an ID for and forgot about. Enjoy this walk down memory lane. I will be back with new stuff from Costa Rica in February.

Explanation: This little guy was hanging out with Mangrove Tree Crabs, and I didn't realize that it was a completely different species until a few people on iNaturalist called me out on it.
