Over 1000 species!

The 1000 species by Thanksgiving goal has been already met and surpassed!!! The Biodiversity of the Anacostia River Project has now 1193 Anacostia River watershed species identified. Thanks very much Anacostia River naturalists, keep the observations coming!

Make sure you take great quality photos with enough detail and showing those key morphological ID features of the organisms being observed. Take pictures of species you don't know and get them ID'ed by an iNaturalist expert. I've found that is a great way to learn about those unknown plants and critters you have seen and appreciated for years but you don't know what they are.

Observations of plants, mushrooms and invertebrates are always welcome because those are big groups with not enough observations and species identified.

Happy Holidays! and Happy Nature Watching!
