Owling and Mothing at Bean Hollow Lakes/Cloverdale Ranches

So I didn’t get it together in time to actually have an official Sequoia Audubon Owls-n-Moths night at Cloverdale Ranches. But I have the permissions, and so I can go with my friends. I’ll need a few friends who have moth lamp equipment, but even without that we can go owling! Here’s my suggestion:

Saturday, July 29 – RSVP to this message
Meet at the gas station Mexican restaurant in Pescadero for dinner at 5:00.
We carpool to the property around 6:00 pm – time for birding and general iNat-ting
We set up moth lamps (if we have them) at two locations. We can stay on the property until about 11:00 pm. If we have generators, we have to be very careful to place them on completely bare ground, due to fire risk.
This is POST property that is normally not open to the public

I can take the first fourteen people who respond to this notice. Some of you will receive the notice twice – on email and on iNaturalist. Only one RSVP necessary.

Jennifer

I'm up for it, but I think @eddiebug and @moonlittrails still have my lights from last weekend. Weather forecast doesn't look especially thrilling for moths, sadly, but who knows, maybe it'll be owl-a-rama.

Right on, @metsa and @tomv ! Sorry about others not being able to make it, but there will be other times (I hope)

So it's a "no go"?

Publicado por metsa mais de 6 anos antes

The event is ON! No worries - just saying to those who need to leave regrets that there will be additional opportunities in the future. But we are going Saturday!

Publicado por gyrrlfalcon mais de 6 anos antes

I'd love to be there! Alas, I will be in the land of hotness (Redding) all weekend.

Sounds like fun, but I won't be able to attend.

Haven't been on for a few days and just saw @gyrrlfalcon 's Messenger to me to which I responded Yes, assuming the max hasn't been reached. I offered my Yeti if that helps.

Publicado por moonlittrails mais de 6 anos antes

Wait, @geodani , are you saying there are activities on a Saturday night that are more attractive than mothing and owling? LOL! Yes, your place on the list of iNaturalist friends is secure.

Publicado por gyrrlfalcon mais de 6 anos antes

@moonlittrails - Yes, there is room, and Yes bring your Yeti!

Publicado por gyrrlfalcon mais de 6 anos antes

Oh, I wish I could join but I am tied to SD until I go to the Arizona iNat-athon. Oops, I see that was in the past. I still wish I could have gone.
