I will gladly step aside to let Nicholas pass. I'm rooting for him, even while I try to stay ahead...just so he doesn't think it's too easy.I think I had better alert Jim M that Nicholas is about to run him over...
Oh no, you shouldn't have said that. Now he'll definitely make me take him to AZ for the NAFHA meeting ......and by the way, Nicholas, my national count is 69, so naturally that's the number I'm expecting you to beat.
I know you will, and so does Nicholas.I am going to give you and Nic a run for your money when it comes to being "the species king"
).Hmm in that case I would loose a good number of records if road cruising didn't count, those nocturnal snakes are a bit hard to come by otherwise, especially those leaf-noses.RobertH wrote:I know you will, and so does Nicholas....and by the way, Nicholas, my national count is 69, so naturally that's the number I'm expecting you to beat.
Talking about being, or becoming, the species king: Who would it be if AC flipped and road cruised species didn't count? We, for example, have none of the former and only one of the latter (a recent DOR zonata

*hint hint*Yes, though at least Nicholas and I could find way more new species in one or two nights of good road cruising in the desert. NorCal is best during flipping season when you can find all local snakes, including the ones that are usually flipped, like Sharptails and Rubber Boas, AND all of the local salamanders and frogs. Right now, all you'd likely add are 3 species of Gartersnake and the Red-Legged Frog (which I told you can be found right here in LA County at one spot - hint, hint).If either of us went up north there will be a significant increase in species

I agree but not only would we be in trouble, Robert would be too! Road cruising is expensivemattg wrote:when nicholas gets a a car were all in trouble!
We are getting out there. Just found one more species this morning and right behind our house. Check out Nick's entry later tonightyou gotta get out there!
Ha, isn't that exactly what Matt said is NOT the case?if you enter 100 utas from L.A. county it counts as four 25+s or 100 points + 20 bonus points for the four 25+s.
However, it appears you are right. I went back and counted our Fence Lizards, Sagebrush Lizards and Chuckwallas. It turns out that Nicholas made a mistake and we have only 24 Sagebrush Lizards, not 25, for LA County. And the 25+ Chuckwallas are spread across 2 different counties. So we get 3 x 5 bonus points (15) only for our 87 Fence Lizards from LA County, which is what the score board shows.I believe it is per county, so once you hit 25 fence for la you get one point , in order to get another you have to find 25 in another co.
Robert5 Point Bonus= 25+ entries of a species in a county (Any species you record 25 of in a county you get a 5 point bonus.)

You can make up the date it was found (not that any of us would)... the date entered can't be tampered with...mattg wrote:I don't know, I just go herping. I guess now I can get 200 utas and fence in every county now , sweet! Although I did notice that the county records go to the first person to enter it in the database not the first one found( by date), seems
Ditto, except I love the photos. The funny thing is that this week marked my amazing first fence lizard record for 2014.mattg wrote:I don't know, I just go herping.
