Good work everyone!
Wow I am surprised I even made it into some of these categories :D
Is this the cut off for the score cards? I still need to put in more of my vouchers :?

Yes and No. It will still go into the scorecard for the calendar year, but as far as the contest part, that is cut off at the end of January. I think I have about 50-60 more entries for 2013 as well. I was planning on 1200 for the year, but the lack of rain really cut the herp activity levels down.

Way to go California Chapter!


And big props to the master, Mr. Brian Hubbs, who once again dominated almost every category :beer:

One question for you though Brian - how is it that you only have 22 DOR entries? I figured you'd have a ton of 'em, considering how much ground you covered.

I seldom road cruise, and didn't road cruise in CA at all last year. Any DOR was just noticed as I drove by in the daytime. I saw more, but it was not safe to stop and take a pic. I probably observed 50 total. However, I spent no time in the desert herping, except to take pics of a few Chucks and Utas on the side of the freeway... Does that explain it?

I go down to SLO area once or twice a year and I see DOR gopher and king snakes on HWY 101 (not THE 101) almost every time. NO WAY am I stopping to photo one.

I saw over 200 DOR on a trip up the 5 to San Jose one day. That's why I need a car that can take pictures of the herps without having to slow down.

Hey Owen,

Is there a way to subpoena what my 2 county records were?

I had no idea I got a county record, two at that, in 2013!

I don't know if there is an easy way other than exporting your records into a .csv and looking at species that you saw first in 2013.

To tell you (and I didn't need more than 10 minutes to find them), it's your SF Co. treefrog and your San Mateo Co. toad. I started looking by type in your 'group' counties.

Thank You Owen for updating this list for us..

I will try to put up some national numbers of our CA members sometime soon.. There a number of members that reached outside of Cali and have some good contributions there too.


Way to go everyone.


Every year I see contributing members fade out and new ones replace them, this year I would like to see NO one fade out, and new contributors. It's a marathon, not sprint..

Entering data, and viewing your data afterwords is addicting and fun, but more importantly it contributes to something greater than ourselves..

Rock On fellow Members.. :beer: :thumb:

In other news, the 2014 scorecard has disappeared and been replaced by 2015. I hope whoever totals up the scores has access to the old scorecard...anyway...you guys bust a gut this month...I'm on vacation. 8-)

Notice I said "might' ;) . I found a job, some extra cash(and buddies pitching in), and a car actually spread my herping horizons :D

I was lucky enough, as is your son, to have a dad that was also in to herps. :thumb:

Brian: Here is the link to the old 2014 score board:

http://www.naherp.com/reports/california.php?year=2014

Notice the number 2014 at the end. If you replace that number with 2013, it'll take you to the score board for 2013, and so on.
