During Summer 2023, I had the incredible opportunity to embark on a study abroad trip through the UWF Kugelman Honors Program. We traveled by ship throughout southern Europe, exploring Greece, Italy, Montenegro, France, and Spain. Throughout these travels, fellow student Joshua Cichon (joshuaacichon@gmail.com) and I explored nature in search of birds. Together, we found and identified fifty species, almost all of which were new sightings for us – known as “lifers.”
We photographed as many birds as we could, and when we returned home, I used my HTML and CSS skills to build a website from scratch that demonstrates all the birds we saw and where, showcasing our experiences and photography. You can view this website at the link below! It works best in Google Chrome and has known issues in Mozilla Firefox.
