Re: Nevada County Species List and Database Gaps
I went for a short hike with my family in Grass Valley a few weeks back and figured i could find a few Nevada Co. critters in the process.... Think i was a bit early as i only found a couple tree frogs.

Re: Mendocino County in the database
Thanks Jimi, im sure you have stumbled into way more pot than i have. And i am a big time advocate of people being sure to buy weed from hippies rather than the Mexican mafia.

Re: Mendocino County in the database
I live less than 2 hours from Mendo, but that is a place i never seem to wander off to. I am sure there is plenty of safe areas to explore, however the amount of pot grown in that County has made me reluctant to go wandering. I know of 2 zonata that have been found on private property there but Mend...

Re: Striped gopher snake from today

I doubt there is Kings on Alcatraz, but Im going to take a good look around Angel Island next month, there are a few spots worth inspecting closer. I have seen several of the usual suspects lizard and salamander wise there.
I cant remember if kings were documted on that island or not though.
