I am pretty new to Twitch, so I just discovered that people are livestreaming nature cams. I am following DashDucks, WildLifeCam, CaliforniaBirbs, and MarineMammalRescue. Who should I add?

Hello world! 👋 I am a scientist and educator who loves talking about both, and striving for equity. I have been on a hiatus from most social media and am gently stepping back into the proverbial pool as 2026 begins. Hope to talk to you soon!
