The "Abode at Glassell Park" development was denied permits by the City of Los Angeles. The reason given was the developer did not submit required fees and documents within the allotted time. Now the property (about 5 acres) is on the market. It will probably be hard to sell to a developer, due to the rising costs and practical issues surrounding building in hillsides.

This is good news for us (Friends Of Walnut Canyon- those of us who worked to stop the development). I like to...

I didn't see him in person, but my trail cam did. I've never seen an eastern towhee (I still call them rufous-sided towhees) in my yard in Kentucky before April. It's always been a sign of spring for me -- first the male and then about five days later, a female. Like clockwork. But it was Feb. 6 when this one made an appearance. Two days after I saw the first crocuses blooming. Was Punxsutawney Phil wrong? Is spring going to be earlier this year? Or have I just never noticed the to...

I haven't been very active on iNat for the past few months, and have been trying to work through a couple of thousand notifications. I've done my best, but I'm certain I have missed a large number of them, so if you've tried to tag me for anything important, and I haven't responded, that's why. If there's anything you'd particularly like to make sure I see, feel free to tag me again, or (better) send me a message!

The first club outing for the year took place on Sunday 5th February, with a number of members travelling to the Western Treatment Plant to observe the abundant bird life. However, it seems that none of our active iNaturalist users were on the trip, as no observations have been posted.

So instead of member's photos from the excursion, here is a link to observations other people have made at the treatment plant over the years. Over 3,500 observations, of 465 different species!

All dogbane beetles in this survey were found on dogbane, Apocynum androsaemifolium. Surveys were made in late June through August of each year, at the same group of dogbane plants. This area has been fairly stable, plant-wise, through the years, although in the 1990's, it was becoming weedy. In the years following 1990, common buckthorn moved into parts of this prairie. This shrub, and non-native honeysuckle, have been periodically cut down.

No one has found this creature on iNat, so incase anyone does, it will be very useful. It's range is in Indonesia, in the countries Buru, Maluku and Papua. It's species can be distinguished easily by their cephalic process / snout.

Definition for Hariola

1) Wings: transparent; coloured near wing base and membrane
2) Ovular eyes
3) Found within the countries Buru, Maluku and Papua

Comment any more points and I will add.

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was." James 1:23-24

С начала существования проекта наиболее ярко видны отстающие районы. Их список статичен уже многие месяцы, хотелось бы призвать наших постоянных наблюдателей посетить эти районы, тем, кто уже это сделал — постараться это повторить, ну и конечно агитируйте окружающих присоединяться к iNaturalist. Возможно, кого-то из вас заинтересует совместная поездка в какой-либо район области (включая деревни, о которых мы писали ранее), можете сообщить об этом в комментариях или в личном сообщении!

I think I'm going to go for it -- 2023 is my iNat big year. I'm going to try to post personal bests in the basic categories: most observations in a year, most species (=unique taxa), most new species, most identifications, and at least one observation every day. New species is going to be the most difficult personal record I think, although I'll probably focus on that and then fumble my streak or something. Here are my personal bests:

Melothria pendula, also known as the creeping cucumber or the Guadeloupe cucumber, is a plant in the Cucurbiteae tribe.

The plant resembles the cultivated cucumber, possessing miniature yellow flowers, similar leaf shape, same leaf patterns, as well as similar growth patterns. The unripe berries strongly resemble minuscule watermelons.

The berries, when unripe and light green can be eaten raw.

Senegalia pennata ( Clilmbing Wattle ) is Petai Duri in Malay. It is a legume species native to South and South East Asia.

It is not common in Malay peninsula, but widely consumed as green in Indochina, India Subcontinent and Indonesian Archipelago. It can be eaten raw, cooked in curry, stir-fried, mixed in omelettes, in soups or simply boiled.

It has a distinctively stinky odor, similar to those of petai.
