Meetup/Bioblitz - 9 am | September 11 | Andorra Meadow
Hey everyone,
I'm thinking of having a meetup/bioblitz on September 11th at 9 am at Andorra Meadow. Mostly a fun event where we can get to know each other and also see what birds, insects, plants, and other wildlife we can find. We might hang out for about 3 hours, but stay as long as you can/want. Let me know if you plan to come in case I need to reschedule due to bad weather and you want to be alerted. Otherwise, feel free to just show up. Also, please tag any other iNatters in the area who might be interested.

I am planning to attend.
@laurenhallden
Sounds super fun! Thanks for the invite - I should be able to make it. Looking forward to explore with you all.
@maxarrito
Excellent! Glad to hear that everyone. I don't know why we didn't do this sooner.
Thanks for the invite! Sounds like fun, but unfortunately I'll be out of town that weekend.
Thanks so much for the invite and I should be able to come and will let you know.
I may have a conflict that day but I will see if I can try and make it. Thanks for setting this up @navin_sasikumar !
Fingers crossed!
This sounds like fun, but I don't think I'll be able to be there. Recovering from major surgery and still not able to do much. I'll contribute by identifying--I can do that right from my couch. Thanks for thinking of me and I hope everyone has a great time.
@kdstutzman Hope you heal fast! If this goes well, we might have more in the future and hopefully, you can attend those.
Great idea Navin, I plan to come. Where will we meet?
Excellent! Glad to hear that, @dougwechsler! I think it makes sense to meet at the Andorra Upper Lot. We can then make our way to the meadow from there.
It's an "umbrella" project I set up a while ago, so observations collected during this bioblitz will automatically be harvested, but feel free to join at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/andorra-meadow-and-natural-area
Looks like there is now a chance of rain on Sunday. Barring heavy rain, I think we can still proceed as planned even if it's not ideal iNatting conditions.
I appreciate the invite, but unfortunately I can't make it this time.
It turns out I can’t make it due to work, but I would love to join next time. Have fun!
Was hoping to make it today but now (no car, possible rain) deciding to stay in. Hope you will invite me to the next one @navin_sasikumar !
Except for John Heinz NWR, I don't get into Philly very often. But thank you for the invite. Hope the rain didn't deter others today.
A big thank you to everyone who came out in the pouring rain yesterday. I didn't expect 20 odd people to show up even in good conditions, but to have that many people turn up with the weather we had yesterday was a special treat. And despite the wet conditions, I think we saw some good stuff. But best of all was being out in the field and learning from all of you. And we'll definitely do this again and hopefully, those of you who missed it this time can make it to the next one.
(Tagging everyone whose iNat usernames I know/remember and so sorry if I missed anyone)

One thing I wanted to mention yesterday, but completely forgot is that we have a Naturalists Telegram group. Please DM me if you want a link to join.
I had a lot of fun learning from you all - I ended up with 34 new life list firsts! Thank you all for sharing your expertise, and thanks again for organizing, @navin_sasikumar!
@conboy Yay! 34 new lifers on a day like yesterday is very exciting!
