BioBlitz results!

Thanks everyone for joining our 2nd Virtual BioBlitz on Saturday! We have close to 700 observations of 363 species. That's especially amazing considering the fact that we only had 15 participants! (Although I suspect some people will upload their photos later on).
Our challenge was to record biodiversity. We were trying to record all 13 categories. Even though none of us were able to make it, as a group, we did record all categories. Some categories were highly under represented. We only had 2 fish, 2 chromista, 1 reptile, 1 amphibian, and 1 protozoan. Together, we did great!
We had an incredible number of bird species - 112! And 7 species of snails and slugs, that's pretty great! We also had 119 species of plants, and 60 species of arthropods.

About our event

Good morning everyone! Have fun on our virtual BioBlitz, and join our project to get your observation added to it. We have decided to focus on biodiversity - documenting organisms from as many categories as possible. It's a fun challenge, but please feel free to observe whatever you'd like!
For an extra challenge, try and connect between observations - an insect and its host plant, and even the bird/ spider that might eat it. Try thinking about that in the habitat that you're at. You can add that as a note to the observation.
Please post some of your photos on our Facebook group as well - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2775065529395642
And I hope to see you all at 6 pm - Eddie Dunbar will host our Zoom meeting. We'll post the link later.
Enjoy!
