Keep those observations coming!

Team Wasatch had a great day yesterday! You made 1184 observations of 289 species. Get outside today and keep those totals climbing. You can enjoy a bioblitz and guided nature walks at the Swaner Ecocenter and Preserve in Summit County from 8:30 to 10:30 this morning. It's going to be a beautiful day wherever you are to explore the nature near you!

Mallard duck is in the lead again as the most observed species in the Wasatch City Nature Challenge. It was at the top of the list in 2017 and 2018, too. The common dandelion is in second, as it has been for the past two year, but painted ladies are making a surprisingly strong showing in third!
