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.
@jmaughn , @leftcoastnaturalist , @loarie - and some far-flung friends: @finatic , @charlie , @maractwin
Weather or not there are moths...?...we'll still have fun. Glad to know you're in, @kueda
if only! but no won't be in CA :)
Dang. This sounds like a blast but I have an event I'm going to on Saturday.
Thanks for the invite, and I am in California right now, but I'll be in LA this weekend.
unfortunately I cannot make it. : (
YES for me and @tomv
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"?
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!
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.
@tiwane , @nlblock (on the off chance you were going to be in California this weekend)
Possibly, but have a long day of work on Sunday. Sounds cool!
sounds amazing, but I'm in Turkey for a few more days. next time!
@kkellman
bummed I wont be able to make it. Have fun!
Thanks for the invite. I have other plans for Saturday night. Please keep me on the list!
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.
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.
@moonlittrails - Yes, there is room, and Yes bring your Yeti!
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.
We ended up having a great evening, but you would have made it even better. Here are links to three of our iNaturalist reports, so far

Thanks so much to @kueda for both the lights, and for his yeoman's effort id'ing all them moth like critters! (from his sick bed no less)
Thanks!!!
And of course, thanks to the principal instigator, @gyrrlfalcon! And of course, all the other usual suspects! Really nice group of folks to hangout out with and learn from!
