Tiens, j’ai le goût de vous partager quatre observations un peu spéciales.

+0.2 at 10:06 am pm. Sunny and cool. one of the only tours this year not impacted by the atmospheric rivers! First tour I did in months.
Duties & Visitors
Lead a tour of 10 sixth grade children from a northern Pacifica school. A lot of energy, lots of going in the water, but overall ok. Seal Cover and bridge still closed from damage -...

Waves 0.5-1m
High Tide 12:30pm
No current
No waves at depth
Vis 6m or so
I didn't get the Kayak into the water until nearly 12pm (many trips carrying stuff from carpark)
Paddled to the eastern arm of Anchor Bay, I could see the bottom to about 8m. Found a spot I thought was safe to anchor, tried to get off the reef but my anchor was in the Ecklonia at 10m.
I descended the anchor line to 10m to find a stunning Ecklonia forest in great ...
Some of the year-round species I saw were White-breasted Nuthatches, Black-capped Chickadees, and Tufted Titmice. They may forego migration because they do not have the energy needed to migrate warmer areas. Because they don’t migrate, they need some adaptations to get through the winter. For example, Black-capped Chickadees go into facultative hypothermia to save energy. This is a physiological adaptation. A behavioral adaptation that may birds have is they can puff up their feathers to...
Hi everyone just a quick update and another reminder to join the project for the summer tanager competition https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/race-for-the-summer-tanager. The majestic Summer tanagers arrive in South Carolina each spring in mid April, which is just around the corner. This is a reminder, please join if you haven't already by joining the project.
Друзья, 27 марта наш проект достиг отметки в 59 000 наблюдений!
Фиксируем основные показатели: 59000 наблюдений 1370 видов. Не менее одного наблюдения сделали 595 человек, а в их идентификации поучаствовали 918 экспертов.
В эту тысячу у нас вошли как архивные материалы, так и наблюдения первоцветов нового сезона.
Всем новых классных находок:)
This week's featured observation is a northern pintail, spotted by @e_ouimet in Colloid, British Columbia

In February, the I Spy and Identify Invasives project made 4,917 observations of 942 species. 193 people observed and reported native and invasive species across Canada and our network grew by 14 new individuals (and counting) – welcome to our new members!
February’s reports included 450 observations of 132 different introduced and invasive species. The month’s totals included these sightings:
• 2 observations of Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) in Hamilton, O...
In addition to the Millipede Key I've also been working on a Centipede Key - so here it is! As with the millipedes, the strategy is to deploy the most obvious features first, and where possible to include a number of different features, and in addition to try and follow the taxonomy step by step from the broader IDs down to species level, enabling the finest possible ID to be given - this is often not possible, but an attempt has been made. These two strategies can sometimes conflict, s...
The 2022 Bioblitz increased our iNaturalist observations from 69 to 314 in one day. That resulted in increasing our documented species from 24 to 157. Referencing this project as future Bioblitzes and incidental sightings progress will be extremely valuable in making conservation decisions and applying for grants.
The CNC is a month away and we have some great events lined up before it starts so you can be ready for the challenge!
April 1, 2023 - GreenThumb GrowTogether Conference - iNaturalist Workshop
Time: 2:45p-4:15p (iNaturalist workshop), 8a-4:30p (whole conference)
Location: CUNY Graduate Center (365 5th Avenue, NY, NY)
Description: Chris Kreussling (NY Pollinator Working Group) and Tohmi Barrett (NYC EcoFlora Project) are presenting a workshop entitled...
I kept on mentioning about Issids with long snouts, but now I came up with something more extreme.
Argepara lyra is an interesting species similar to Hemisphaerius but is more related to issus, but the fronts is extended anteroventrally, making a distinct boar face beetle like appearance.
Vermonters now have another excuse to get outside on sunny days: to join a statewide survey of the most angelic insects—butterflies. The Vermont Center for Ecostudies (VCE) is recruiting volunteers to help search fields and fens, mountains and meadows, and even their own backyards to help document the status of Vermont’s butterflies.
Butterflies were largely a mystery in Vermont before hundreds of volunteer community scientists helped complete the first Vermont Butterfly Atlas (2...
We've started a twitter feed to help us spread the word about the challenge. If you are on Twitter, please follow us at @SusCoCNC
Just started using this site and application on my iPhone. Started with just the "Seek" app, and then added the iNaturalist account as well. Nice to be able to identify plants around us. Still a rookie and learning how this all works.
Focus on the iPhone could be better, and still trying to ensure I upload clear photos. Need to be sure I know how to delete photos as well.
That's all for now. Cheers@!
I somehow screwed up when setting my phone GPS to record. Ugghhhh! I hate when I do that. Had to set all locations for my Joseph Grant observations manually, to the best of my memory.
Hi Everyone!
Just want to let you know that the City Nature Challenge will be taking place between April 28th - May 1st for observations and May 2nd - 7th for identifications. This year the Boise Metro Area event will include all of Ada County.
I've tagged you in this post because you are either a top observer in Ada County or a top identifier in the area. We're really hoping that you'll participate in this year's event and help spread the word to your contacts.

This photo was taken on March 22, 2023 at 12:43 pm EDT in College Of Staten Island. It was a sunny day and a hot weather. The temperature was 57 F and the wind was 5 mph. The precipitation was 0% and humidity was 33%. The tree was medium sized and it had yellow small leaves and yellow bulbs.

The precipitation was 0%, and humidity was 33%. The bird has a red neck and a brown body, and it is very small in size. It's not really obvious in the photo, but it is found picking near the leaves on top of the tree.
