On the night before the BioBlitz, I glanced at the statistics for Huddart Park. There were 216 species observed, and only three observers had recorded more than 40 species. Now, after the BioBlitz, these numbers have increased dramatically!

species - 216 before - 243 after (11% increase)

Observers with over 40 observations - 3 before - 10 after - 70% increase

We had an excellent mix of experienced iNat-ters and novices, but everyone with whom I interacted was enthusiastic and friendly. Be sure to help with IDing to the extent that you feel confident - the number of unidentified observations from the Blitz has been steadily decreasing - another good sign.

The BioBlitz was a tremendous success, and the uploading and identifying is coming along quite speedily! Please check out other BioBlitzes, and save the date - SATURDAY APRIL 27, 2019 - for the follow-up BioBlitz on the eastern side of Huddart (shorter trails!). -

Thanks to everyone! - Jennifer Rycenga
