The iNaturalist City Nature Challenge ran April 26-29 this year. I had a personal goal of getting 400 observations over the weekend, and barely pulled it off with 403. I saw a total of 96 species (100 was within reach, if I knew a couple more plants and didn't miss a butterfly) out of 148 total. 76 of those species were birds. Some sparrows, warblers, and shorebirds were on their way through. There was a Western Tanager on the second day, a lifer for me. I made a blog update about the ch...

It's been a frenetic week. We're getting down to the wire, just edging over 900 observations which is pretty awesome considering we have ~20 less observers than last year and a lot crappier weather this time around. And the ID's are still going strong which is great as having robust data is our real end goal for community science in Surrey.

For those tracking how we're doing regionally and nationally, Metro Vancouver is now leading across Canada, edging out Montreal by a mere 54 ...

Heyo, fly folk!

My goal for you all this week is to go outside and find any one fly to upload to iNat. It can be a muscoid, cecid, even a culicid. For extra points, find five (or more!).

Have fun!

Hi All!
So excited to get the final numbers for the entire City Nature Challenge! In the meantime ,we are down to the last few hours to upload any last minute pictures or help with identifications before all of the observation data is pulled for the challenge.

Once again, a HUGE thank you to everyone! So grateful for all of your hard work and wildly impressed by our representation in the 2024 CNC!

Keep it wild,

The term native does have meaning. It means that the plant has been part of an intricate and complex web of animals, plants, pathogens, fungi, bacteria and microorganisms for a very long time – one in which the rules of coexistence have been thoroughly worked out. Such communities are stable, orderly and diverse.

Introduce a novel organism, and you may be asking for problems. The natural controls in its native ecosystem do not exist in this new place. The critters that depend on ...

They don't look like they plan on stopping any time soon. We'll know their final counts by 6 AM our time, and we'll then have three more hours to dig out a few more observations.

Hopefully, it won't come down such a last minute nail biter. There are lots of hidden gems in the weeds...

With only a few hours left, our friends in Montreal have squeaked in a small lead of 26 observations. We still hold a commanding lead of about 200 in terms of species, but we need that final push on the observation front.
Please add any you have not submitted and canvas existing ones for opportunities to create new versions where more than one taxa is visible.
The Montreal team is not stopping and neither should we. Think 100 more observations or even more.

Thanks to ever...

The following charts show the number of observations for species within the genus Trifolium in California and the number of times the species has been misidentified in iNaturalist. The purpose of this analysis is to pinpoint species with high misidentification rates (to focus on correcting) and to provide a method of measuring improvements over time.

I split the species into two charts for clarity. The first chart lists the species with >1,000 observations (green). The ...

We have just a few hours left to upload our observations (we have until tomorrow 9 am - but better to get them in sooner in case iNat is slow), so if you have anything left to add, now is your chance. Take a look at our Needs List and see if there's anything you might have seen or heard that we still need. Thanks again for participating everyone!
