Save the date - Kimberlie's 2nd Annual Birthday BioBlitz!!

I've had several questions lately about whether I'm going to make my Birthday BioBlitz an annual event. Well, heck YEAH!

More info will follow as it gets closer, but it will be similar to last year's event. (Daylight bioblitz followed by mothing at the same location, Overton Ridge Park in Keller. Open to anyone and everyone.)

So, in the meantime, mark your calendars as BUSY for Saturday, September 28th from 5-10pm(-ish).

Here's what we saw last year: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/overton-ridge-park-bioblitz-fall-2018

Waaaa! :( I'll be out of town then in Reno Nevada. Shucks.

Ooh! I'll be in the DFW area almost every other weekend starting in August. Will let you know if things change, but count me in, and thank you for the invite! What a fantastic way to spend a birthday.

@amzapp ! Tell us when you're in town and we can go exploring!!!

I've penned this into my calendar! No pencil here.

It's on my calendar! We've never met in person yet, you know.

On my calendar!

Posted by nanofishology over 4 years ago

I'll be there. =))

Posted by k8thegr8 over 4 years ago

That day is my actual birthday so it will depend on whether my family plans anything. Otherwise you know I’ll be there.

Posted by brentano over 4 years ago

@sambiology Well, you still have time to change your Reno plans. ;)
@amzapp Really?! Yay! Yay! Yay!
@gcwarbler Wooohooo :) Ink is forever!
@pfau_tarleton I know. It's absolutely ridiculous that it's taken so many years!

Posted by kimberlietx over 4 years ago

Will make sure I have that day off!

There will be more blitzes, @narimanofkazakhstan! We should try to have one closer to Houston, anyways!

Posted by nanofishology over 4 years ago

@nanofishology Awesome! The more the merrier! I'll post details as it gets closer, but it will pretty much be EXACTLY the same as last year, just the new date.

Posted by kimberlietx over 4 years ago

I am hoping to make it out! If all goes well. Sounds like a good time!

Posted by walkingstick2 over 4 years ago

I'll try! My son may be back for the first time in three years backpacking around India, Thailand, etc.. That might stop my coming! I've never been to a bioblitz...

Posted by mokennon over 4 years ago

Yes! It's in my calendar.

Posted by justjenny over 4 years ago

On my calendar!

Posted by mchlfx over 4 years ago

Fun! Can't wait

Posted by cindylcobb5 over 4 years ago

It's on my calendar. Hopefully this year, I can actually make it!

Posted by naturemom over 4 years ago

Hope I can make it, thank you for the invitation!

If you have replied, you don't need to do so again. I just wanted everyone to have the details and a link to share to tag others.

I'm getting excited about Saturday!!! If you are planning to bring your portable moth setup, it would be appreciated! I'm advertising this event in the surrounding neighborhood so hopefully we will get a lot of neighbors to convert, uhhh... I mean "to join" us in our iNat craziness! If you need to reach out to me, my cell is 682-597-0612. (I often don't answer calls from numbers I don't know, so text if that happens!)

Posted by kimberlietx over 4 years ago

Ugh. I'm going to miss it. My son has been playing soccer out of Arlington, but there isn't a game this weekend. :-(
I hope you have a wonderful birthday celebration - how can you not!

Posted by amzapp over 4 years ago

@amzapp I'll miss seeing you! You've already got my number... text me sometime when you are here so we can iNat!!
