DCiNatHH 5pm Fri 12/4

Inspired by @alexshepard and the the Bay Area iNat'rs, I am putting the call out for all DC-area naturalists for a downtown DC happy hour on Friday 12/4, starting at 5pm. @carrieseltzer has been kind enough to identify a suitable venue -- the Science Club http://www.scienceclubdc.com/ at 1136 19th St NW, Washington, DC 20036. There are rumors that @loarie will be in town.

cc'ing everybody else on the beltway leaderboard with 20+ observations @treegrow @ecologyelise @botanygirl @calopteryx @amandaandmike @briangratwicke @dpom @treichard @adventure_us @csavy @jbrown @dctr @lagirlstroemia @javierahr @maryeford @ehurme @timbir5 @katl @mklein @layymkayy @lonnyholmes @jdeichmann @starfocus @guyfoulks @jimsteamer @rprather @ggnoma @yrhe @hsynn & @jhammock Please tag/share with others that you think might be interested hanging out with naturalists.

This is my first journal post so I don't know what I'm doing, but am attaching a northern hawk owl observation from Alaska because it is the favorite thing I have seen in the past month.

Let's plan the next one for Brazzaville @congonaturalist . What do you think @jakob ?

Looking forward to meeting you Tim/ @timbir5 !

Posted by muir over 8 years ago

Lovely plan! Until then, @congonaturalist is making arrangements with the guy running the neat café next to the Eidolon colony in Patte d'Oie forest, right?

Great idea and hope to meet you guys on Dec 4!

In case anyone needs additional encouragement, the Science Club is making us creating a new drink for the event--biodiversitinis! :-D

I passed the invite on to @aegolius and she will be joining us as well.

Thanks everybody! Great to meet new people and connect with everybody else!

Great to see you all. Looking forward to more observations from the DC area.

@jakob One of the last things I did before leaving Brazzaville was head to Patte d'Oie to ask around for the Eidolon colony...didn't see anything or hear anything from the folks I asked. Nice place to have a drink though!

Now I'm in Washington D.C. with all of you D.C. naturalists! Looking forward to catching up on the American wildlife and following your observations!

Welcome, @congonaturalist! Glad to have you in DC. Hope to meet you in person!
