ໃນຕອນເຊົ້າມື້ອື່ນຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄປສໍາລັບການ 10 day collecting trip down to Catalina ເກາະ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າໄດ້ພົບພຽງພໍທີ່ຈະໄດ້ຮັບການເຊື້ອເຊີນໃຫ້ເຂົ້າຮ່ວມທ່ານດຣ. Jerry Powell ຂອງ UC Berkeley ກ່ຽວກັບການສໍາຫຼວດ moth ໄດ້, ແລະນີ້ຈະເປັນການໃຊ້ເວລາທໍາອິດທີ່ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າກັບການໃດໆຂອງເກາະດອນ. The Channel Islands are known for their high levels of endemism, and none is more famous than the Channel Island Fox. There are also a handful of endemic butterflies and moths that I’ll be hoping to find, but at the very least I know it’s wildflower season and I’ve got my camera primed.
I will likely have little or no access to the internet while staying on the island, so hang tight for a week. Had I planned ahead I would have scheduled posts or a guest author! Please do stay tuned for some of my first images of the 2011 field season.
