BioBlitz results!

Thanks everyone for participating at our second Coyote Meadows BioBlitz. 54 people shared their observations - that's amazing!
We found high diversity of organisms - many weeds and native species contributed to a high species count. We documented non-native species such as milk thistle and Italian thistle, poison hemlock, and the seven-spotted ladybeetle. We also saw many native plants, such as coast live oak, poison oak, and CA manroot. Some of the arthropods that were active in that cold morning were the small honey ant and California ladybeetle, and many milk snails and western tussock moth caterpillars.
Some native flowers were planted as part of the efforts to restore the area - scorpionweed, gilia, and purple Chinese houses.
