Treasure Hunt
For this exercise, I went around the northern side of the Cal campus to relocate some of the species found by the previous class. I easily relocated little-robin, coast redwood, English daisy, common ivy, ripgut brome, common vetch, Himalayan blackberry, California bay, and California poppy. These species were generally in the same place, but, to my observer's advantage, easily found in plentiful among the area.
For the extra credit, I went on a hike in the Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve. I made 57 observations representing 47 taxa. These observations may be found here: http://www.inaturalist.org/calendar/smvance70/2014/4/23
(The first observation of the spider was not part of this excursion, though taken on the same day.)
