So – last week I participated in the City Nature Challenge 2019 Sacramento Area effort. See https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2019-sacramento-region for more details on the challenge.
My colleague Laci Gerhart-Barley was one of the co-organizers for our region and I saw some posts from her in the run up to the event and, as I have gotten more and more into iNaturalist I decided to participate. Fortunately in a way, I got a nasty bug with fever and chills and such and this meant (1) I did not want to go to work and (2) I wanted to avoid people. This gave me some extra time to go around. The vent ran from Friday to Monday April 26-29. And I tooled around UC Davis campus a few times and Sac State Campus once (on Saturday where my daughter had a concert) and around Yolo County and also my yard a bit. And I took a lot of pictures and posted as many as seemed interesting to iNaturalist. And the most amazing thing was the community of people that Laci and others had gathered together did an incredible job of helping ID many many many of my posts.
So here are some more details
Day 1. Link to observations. Screen capture below.
Day 2. Link to observations
Day 3. Link to observations
Day 4. Link to observations.
Some of my favorite observations from these days are below;
And many many more.
Thanks to all the people who helped ID many of my pics and thanks to Laci and the other coorganizers for running the show. It was a great experience.
Oh and below I have tried to copy the images and links to many of the actual entries using their calendar display option. It only shows 200 per day so Day 1 I could not get all of them in this format.. I am not sure how well this will work.
Day 1 extras:
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Of possible interest from an email:
This is a reminder that TODAY, Judith Butler, the Maxine Elliott Professor of Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley, will be giving a lecture as part of The UC Davis Forums series. She will be speaking on the topic of "Scholars at Risk: What Are the Obligations of Universities?"
The lecture will take place in Ballroom B of the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) from 3 to 4:30 p.m., with a reception and light refreshments to follow. This event is free and open to the public.
Please see the flyer below for more information, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
See you all soon for what will be another insightful Forum!

STORER LECTURESHIP IN LIFE SCIENCES
Mary E. Power
Department of Integrative Biology University of California Berkeley
Dr. Power is an ecologist and a professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at UC Berkeley. Her research focuses primarily on food web, landscape and community ecology,. She often performs her research close to home in the Eel River of California. Her research seeks to provide insights that will help forecast how river-structured ecosystems will respond to watershed and regional scale changes in climate, land use, or biota. Since 1988, she has been the director of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve, an 8000-arce natural reserve protected for university teaching, research, and outreach.
Dr. Power has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the California Academy of Sciences. She received the Kempe Award for Distinguished Ecologists and was awarded the G. Evelyn Hutchison Medal from the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography.
