Re: Memorial Day weekend in the low desert
Are you 100% on the Black-chinned diagnosis Robert? Well truth be told the only way to correctly identify between the female Black-chinned and Costa's is to observe a male as there aren't any distinguishing features between the females of both species. Either way it turns we are both pretty close :...

Re: Memorial Day weekend in the low desert
Correction: that is the very similar California Quail - note the scale pattern on the belly! Generally speaking Gambel's is the desert form while California is the coastal and mountain form (not to be confused with Mountain Quail). The hummer appears to be a Costa's but females are tough and I rare...

Strange - it seems to be working for me when I click the link, but not when I try to go directly from the NAFHA page (even though that's how I originally got the link).
Psyon - something going on here?

Grandpa's property in central-eastern Missouri
I've posted on this twice in the last two years, but I thought I'd throw in a mega-post to get things moving for the new board. In the last two years I took two short 3-5 day trips to visit my grandpa in Missouri, and since he lives in an awesome spot in the woods (the paradise of my childhood) I he...

Northwestern Oregon herps (with lots of habitat shots)
I'll repost a few herps from my last couple trips to Oregon. No stories this time, just the pictures and habitat. All this stuff was inputed to the NAFHA database (www.naherp.com). The Northwest is seriously underrepresented in the database. COLUMBIA RIVER GORGE There's a ton more herping I need to ...

Re: Memorial Day weekend in the low desert
Many of the photos won't load for me however I can identify your last two beetles. The beetle doing the headstand is Eleodes sp. and with there being over 120 different species west of the Mississippi I can't narrow it down any further. The last beetle is Nosoderma diabolicum a.k.a. Diabolical Iron...

Re: This and that
Thanks for posting Richard's article Funky! Overall I certainly agree with the point and message of the paper. Hopefully our database can start to make some small inroads into these processes, though in most investigations it will be more of a first step than anything else. I don't think that the ex...

Memorial Day weekend in the low desert
I'll supplement the new Cali forum with pics from my recent trip to the low desert. I hadn't gotten to go to the desert all year this year (and needed to fill up the database), so I hit it hard for the whole Memorial Day weekend. MOUNTAINS On the way down, I stopped in the mountains to try to score ...

Re: One Sweet Board... deja vu
I once flipped 4 ringnecks under the same board. And last weekend I got a rubber boa/coast garter double.
Yeah, that's all I got. 15+ snakes of multiple different species under the same board is freaking incredible.

Lack of awareness killing thousands of snakebite victims
Thought I'd get the news board started with an important one. I was surprised that kraits cause such a high percentage of the snakebite cases in West Bengal.

Re: Once, In a Former Life . . .
I like the trend towards using names. Will keep things less confusing when I meet people. Plus, I feel weird when I refer to people by their FHF screenname constantly because I can't remember their real name.

See at least 120 distinct species and enter them into naherp.com by August. I'm at something like 97 now, but I have 13 or 14 more that I've vouchered in the last two weeks that I need to enter. I had more goals, but I forgot most of them. Here are a few: Find a Western Toad in the LA Basin - alread...
