October 4-6 Bioblitz at Timberlake Biological Field Station

UPDATE:


The spring 2019 bioblitz at Timberlake was tons of fun. Between May 17-20, 18 observers made 5,379 observations of 1,103 species! https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?d1=2019-05-17&d2=2019-05-20&place_id=118103

Several folks attending the spring bioblitz asked for a fall get-together, so we have one scheduled for October 4-6. All the details are here:

I can come down Friday evening after lectures are done, and then head back up to Dallas Sunday evening. That means two nights of mothing for me! :-)

Also tagging @melissa_duron and @k8thegr8

I am already packing! Looking forward to it. Was just fixing to register for the Native Plant Society Fall Symposium in Galvestion but had rather meet up with my iNat buddies!

Can I reserve a place to sleep again?

Been wishing I could return for another visit... Awesome place...

As luck would have it, I'm leading an interpretive walk that Saturday. :( I'll get out there eventually....

發佈由 kimberlietx 大約 5 年 前

@connlindajo I'm equally excited about getting together with the crazy iNatters.

發佈由 annikaml 大約 5 年 前

I'll put it on my calendar, I really want to come back out! May be tough with work and school, but I'm going to try! @eminoid

發佈由 wildcarrot 大約 5 年 前

And @mikef451, it's safe to come. I have my own Outback now, so I don't need to try to harass you into selling yours to me. :-)

發佈由 annikaml 大約 5 年 前

Good to know @annikaml! I plan on being there with my Outback. I've never been so pleased with the performance of a vehicle as I was driving it all over the place while there. Had a great time there in spring! Know the lay of the land better now. Can't wait! Have frozen DNA will travel.

發佈由 mikef451 大約 5 年 前

I will plan to do my best to get there Friday night. And @kimberlietx there are lots of other folks that can do interpretive walks but chance to get out here doesn't come along too often and so worth it.

@anewman
Please arrange a swap with someone for your walk duties that day @kimberlietx. I can bring my bedstraw pillow to show you.

發佈由 connlindajo 大約 5 年 前

On my calendar...and while everybody is looking at the ground for plants, bugs, etc., don't forget to keep an eye to the sky since this is getting close to the peak of hawk migration in CenTex!

發佈由 gcwarbler 大約 5 年 前

@brentano @connlindajo I would love to swap out, but I've been booked to do this for 10 months. :(

發佈由 kimberlietx 大約 5 年 前

Thanks for the Timber invite, Inatters. I'll make it there someday. My dear friends are getting married that Saturday. Have fun.

I'm leading a field trip for the new class of Heart of Texas Master Naturalists that Saturday, but perhaps for Sunday...

發佈由 bosqueaaron 大約 5 年 前

Thanks for the tag. I'll have to see if we can participate.

Tentatively out of town that weekend, but I should know more as the date approaches.

Ooooo! I hope to come to this, but I've got something going on Friday, so perhaps I can make it after that.

So it's a tentative yep from me! :)

發佈由 sambiology 大約 5 年 前

A maybe from me! Fingers crossed I can make it happen!

發佈由 nanofishology 大約 5 年 前

@tadamcochran Tagging you again.

發佈由 annikaml 大約 5 年 前

I'm a definitely maybe! I've put it on my calendar. It'll be a last minute decision.

發佈由 tadamcochran 大約 5 年 前

I'll see if I can make it!

發佈由 k8thegr8 大約 5 年 前

I'll definitely put it on my calendar and see if I can make it.

Just letting folks know that the Timberlake bioblitz is still on for next weekend. I was hoping we'd have gotten some fall rains by now, so it may be a bit more desolate and brown than it was this spring. I haven't been out there since then.

發佈由 pfau_tarleton 大約 5 年 前

Y'all have fun. We are planning a trip way west and one will be enough for us.

發佈由 alflinn329 大約 5 年 前

It'll be great fun! Looking forward to it!

發佈由 mikef451 大約 5 年 前

It can't be any drier and crunchier there than it is here in Lee County!

發佈由 connlindajo 大約 5 年 前

I'll be there! And will bring some pitfall traps again :)

發佈由 wildcarrot 大約 5 年 前

I just got the day off so I'll be there! I haven't camped in decades so this will be an adventure!

發佈由 k8thegr8 大約 5 年 前

Shucks. I'm not able to make it... :(

I know ya'll will still have a blast! Looking forward to seeing all of the observations roll in!

Planning to make a day trip of it on Saturday!

發佈由 nanofishology 超過 4 年 前

My wife signed me up to visit the in-laws, so I won't be able to make it.

發佈由 bosqueaaron 超過 4 年 前

As long as nothing comes up, I should be able to make it up there on Saturday.

發佈由 rymcdaniel 超過 4 年 前

For folks coming Friday, please arrive about 4 pm or after. I'm eager to get back out there!

發佈由 pfau_tarleton 超過 4 年 前

@sambiology and @bosqueaaron Sorry you are going to miss seeing me!

發佈由 connlindajo 超過 4 年 前

There will be a baked potato and salad bar Saturday (either lunch or supper, not sure which). I'll try to bring enough for the folks that have said here that they're attending. I'm assuming that the river bed will be dry enough to be accessible this time. For those wanting to explore that habitat, maybe bring shoes or boots that you don't mind getting a little wet or muddy.

發佈由 pfau_tarleton 超過 4 年 前

Thanks Dr. Pfau! Sounds great. See you Friday afternoon.

發佈由 mikef451 超過 4 年 前

See you there.

發佈由 connlindajo 超過 4 年 前

Unfortunately, looks like I'm going to miss out on this one.

I just went through and made sure all the caterpillars were annotated as larvae...then filtered our observations by that annotation. The results? When @k8thegr8 attends a bioblitz, a dazzling array of caterpillars will be revealed! 24 species and counting!
