JOE Field Trip Reports

JOE (Jersey Odonate Enthusiasts) is a "club" for people who enjoy dragonfly and damselfly watching. There are no membership dues and no meetings with Robert's Rules of Order. Field trips are organized during flight season (May - Sept, especially June) to various places around the state. Anyone can "lead" a trip; you don't have to be an expert in identification. Qualifications include knowing how to get to an area, knowing where to look, and providing directions. There may be totally informal winter meeting(s) at someone's house if they are willing to host, where photos or some aspect of odeing can be discussed.

JOE promotes catch and release for ID purposes only unless it is a new state record that needs a voucher specimen. Records from JOE trips will be posted on the njodes@yahoogroups.com listserv and significant records will be forwarded to the NJ Odonata Survey for inclusion in its data collection.

Upcoming events can be viewed by clicking here; trip reports are also available. Trip reports and discussion are usually posted on njodes@yahoogroups.com To be added to the JOE mailing list of upcoming events, send an email to tangara7(AT)netscape.net
