About: I'm the publisher and blogger of CitizenSci.com (and CritterGeek.com, a site about animals). In my day job, I work for MAKE Magazine.
My favorite moment doing citizen science was on hawk hill, towards the end of a long day, when a red-tailed hawk decided to kite right above us. As if that weren't enough, a second red-tailed floated in right next to it and also hung in the air, looking down on us as if making their own count. I looked at the hawks, and at the hawk watchers watching them, and caught Steve's eye and smiled...magic.

I'm having a new logo created for CitizenSci.com and I've used the first version here. I'm getting a revised version that's somewhat based on this, so that will be updating soon. What do you think of it?
