Life Underfoot: A Look Into Field Herping & Herp Photography

What species of reptile & amphibian call Michigan home and how does one go about finding them? Come along for an evening to explore the world of field herpetology; the pursuit of wild reptiles & amphibians, better known as “herping”. From habitats and techniques to photography and contributing to citizen science, discover the hidden world that hides right beneath your feet! Nick Scobel is a wildlife biologist, naturalist, and birder who lives just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan. He spends much of his spare time traversing Michigan’s wetlands, woods, and prairies in search of our native reptiles & amphibians to document and photograph. He even finds time to fit in some birding during the winter months and during spring migration.
