Skunks in the bedroom (it truly happened!) and other “tails” of nature in Los Angeles. Posts about NHM (work), community science (passion) & dogs.

@lilamayhiggins @SmartRF I can’t believe that happened!

This is an interesting survey that will help the @EuCitSci strengthen their efforts to define and promote #citizenscience.

Hey @sunnyslopegirl1 and @SciStarter thanks for the retweet!

[Amy Jaecker-Jones / Neighborhood Naturalist @NeighborhoodNat]

Do you or someone you know live in this area? This is a great opportunity to participate in #communityscience and help researchers @nhmla. Please RT and share widely.

Happy to be a part of this program!

A night of 🦇mist netting at #ElDoradoNatureCenter. I assist w/ an urban bat survey @NHMLA. Tonight was an opportunity to safely & humanely capture live #bats to compare with our acoustic detectors. Unfortunately, we didn’t catch any bats, but we did record bat activity.

One of the real pleasures in my job is getting to work with young people. It’s always a growth experience for me and, as their reflections on this summer suggest, a positive experience for them as well. Our summer interns were awesome!

@lilamayhiggins @alisonkestrel Don’t you wish we could travel around the world and participate in all the different #citynaturechallenge events?

Good for ⁦⁦@BackStoryRadio⁩ for owning their mistake and for airing this conversation with ⁦@allofmilov⁩ in its entirety. This is an important discussion relating to #scholars, #journalism, & our understanding of #media. https://t.co/B7el8WAL1B

Do you like working with data AND nature? Scientific research AND education? #communityscience #citizenscience #urbannature

@SmartRF @tuckeve @lilamayhiggins @slothisticated I like it.

[Amy Jaecker-Jones / Neighborhood Naturalist @NeighborhoodNat]

Working on it already.

[Amy Jaecker-Jones / Neighborhood Naturalist @NeighborhoodNat]

One of the highlights of my job is getting to work with inspirational people, such as @lacountyparks.

[Amy Jaecker-Jones / Neighborhood Naturalist @NeighborhoodNat]

@alisonkestrel That’s really cool!

#Breaking The mountain lion spotted napping in a Pasadena backyard this afternoon has been captured. The photo was taken by CBS2 reporter Jeff Nguyen who really got that close. https://t.co/XQAJZRZBQz

[Amy Jaecker-Jones / Neighborhood Naturalist @NeighborhoodNat]

I guess the mountain lion report is confirmed. #natureinla

[City of Pasadena @PasadenaGov]

Mountain lion has been safely removed and is being transported by Cal Fish & Wildlife for medical evaluation.

[Heal the Bay @HealTheBay]
