You may not be able to see tracks in the snow right now, but you may find other evidence that foxes or coyotes are around or have passed through the area.
Below are pictures of coyote and domestic dog scat. The ends of the coyote scat look like they have a pointed twist, but the domestic dog scat doesn't have that same twist.
Coyote scat may be up to 4 inches long and about 3/4 of an inch in diameter (fox scat is approximately half that size). The color of the scat can va...
Thank you for posting observations during this bioblitz~
Now please pitch in to help ID for this City Challenge and focus on identifications inside the Seattle Tacoma boundaries for the next few days. Even a couple identifications will help push the count up! Choose your favorite species or one that you know well and work through a batch of them. Find things that don't have a category and put them into something basic like plants, insects, fungi... then people that recognize th...
@mikethebirder has just hit 1500 observations for the CNC!
Will he stop here at this nice, round number? Or is he taking a coffee break as he gets ready to load some more?
Kudos to Mike and to all of you who continue to upload your CNC observations, and to the vast team of identifiers who are trying to keep up with your many observations!
Together, we are certainly a team to be ...

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing very well. This month, we are experimenting for the first time a monthly article, which will bring together interesting data, statistics and the welcoming of the new members of the month. Of course, there are things that will change over time and articles. Do not hesitate if you have ideas for things that could be added, it would help us a lot! All proposals are good to take, even if they look insignificant.
First of all, here are all the ...
I partecipanti potranno visitare Geloi Wetland e fotografare animali e piante cercando di superarsi a vicenda nel numero delle specie osservate. In palio grandi premi!
Promemoria: è raccomandabile iscriversi alla sfida mandando un messaggio whatsapp al numero 3518365099
Just a week to go to the Bishop's Sutton Bioblitz on Saturday 11th May !
The weather forecast looks better ... but its still very wet and muddy underfoot, so wear your sensible shoes on the day
Liebe Naturfreund:innen,
vielen Dank für euren Beitrag zur City Nature Challenge! 94 Personen haben von Freitag bis Montag über 3.000 Beobachtungen im Stadtraum von St. Pölten hochgeladen!
Nun ist noch bis Sonntag Zeit, um alle Beobachtungen korrekt zu bestimmen. Jede:r kann sich daran beteiligen. Expert:innen aller Fachgebiete werden genau so benötigt, wie Leute, die mithelfen, die Daten vorzusortieren (zB angeben, ob eine Pflanze, ein Vogel oder ein Schmetterling zu s...
Riihijärvi heräsi aamulla lumisateeseen. Olen jatkanut vielä lintujen ruokintaa. Linnunsiemeniä on kadonnut kilokaupalla väsyneiden muuttomatkalaisten nokkiin. Pihassa käy iso parvi järripeippoja, peippoja ja vihervarpusia, muut lajit näyttävät väistyneen niiden tieltä. Töyhtötiaista ei ole näkynyt enää viikkoihin ja hömötiaistenkin vierailut ovat vähentyneet. Myös lopputalven isot urpiaisparvet ovat lähteneet muualle. Tikkojakin näkyy talimakkaroilla harvemmin.

Our numbers are pretty stable right now. I think we've added a couple observations and species since yesterday, but I don't expect a huge increase over the next few days. At this point, we're concentrating on increasing our proportion of research quality observations, currently at 37.2%.
I've been scrolling through the observations today, looking for "interesting" ones. Shardintx found Agrobacterium (
I hope everyone had a nice time during Gall Week April 2024 - and thank you for participating! You can continue uploading observations of galls documented during Gall Week (4/20-28). Please do not add observations made before or after those dates.
We've got some great sticker designs made by Chelsea and by @teamvalor786succulentsandcacti on BioBlitz Club's website -
Date: 5/2/2024
Start Time: 14:45
End Time: 16:00
Location: Centennial Woods Natural Area
Weather: about 63 degrees, cloudy and windy, felt like it was going to rain
Habitat: mix of hardwood & coniferous stands, although most of the walk was done in a marshy area of Centennial with lots of reeds and short underbrush as well as along a stream.
Every single day I see animals being abused and neglected. Sometimes, I have to pause and mute my social medias just so I can have peace of mind and bring back sanity. Watching this sad reality again and again, in different stories and format, is so sad and depressing.
I just don't understand why rich people could not do something about. Heck, some of them can afford an island by themselves, so why not donate even 0.1% of their profit to help make this world a better place for th...
Great work on everyone's observations over the weekend! We have surpassed our goal of 10K observations (by a long-shot) and the numbers continue to grow. The deadline to post all of your observations is Midnight May 5. It's a bit of a "soft" deadline as the CNC organizers will be pulling all of the numbers by 9am on May 6. Probably in the afternoon the global results will be announced and we will consider the event complete!
One last thing I would like to ask of all of you is th...
We are almost at the finish line and what a challenge it has turned out to be. As of May 02, 2024 the top three Canadian cities are: Vancouver, Montreal and Calgary. The Vancouver MVRD is ranked 40th globally with 13,170 observations. A close second is Montreal ranked 41st globally with 13,144 observations. That is only a difference of 26 observations (or a difference of 0.1%).
The third Canadian city is Calgary but is just under 2,000 observations behind so it looks like a race for ...

Thank you everyone! Your have really stepped up to help out our region with the CNC 2024!
If you have any more photos, be sure to add them to iNaturalist before May5.
Also, if you have some time, go through and ID some of the observations in our project that haven't been ID'd yet!
We are closing in our Heart of Texas so every photo counts!
Thanks again for getting out there and making some great observations!
If you have a favorite or somethin...
The Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society updated our priority plant lists on April 9 at the annual Land Manager Meeting to guide the inventory, treatment, and monitoring of invasive plants in the region.
Priority Plant Lists
These lists contain six rankings based on how established a species is and their potential impact within the region. In the meeting, hoary cress was discussed as a species to keep at the highest possible alert level, and cheatgrass was highlighted as...
Un petit rappel qu'il vous reste jusqu'au 5 mai pour téléverser vos photos et vos enregistrements sonores sur iNaturalist.ca, et que chaque observation compte! (Nous sommes très près des autres villes dans les top 3 du Défi!) A la différence de certaines villes, où un petit nombre de personnes font la vaste majorité d'observations, l'effort de la grande région de Montréal a vraiment été un travail collectif, qui met en valeur notre amour de la nature et l'importance de la conservation ...
Woot! We just past the city's previous record number of observations, from the big 2019 CNC, and there's still three days of identifying and uploading to go.

We've got to identify or upload 148 more species to top our species tally from 2019, and then 2024 will with...
Joignez-vous à nous pour le deuxième Bioblitz sur le projet iNaturalist d'Abiome, du 11 au 26 mai !
Durant cet événement, chacun contribue en observant autant d'espèces vivantes que possible, dans une région donnée, et sur une période de temps déterminée. C’est surtout une opportunité incroyable de découvrir la biodiversité qui nous entoure et de contribuer à la science participative. Et toute observation, même semblant la plus banale, est intéressante.
Que vous soyez un ...

It is really important to Australians that we look after our environment. We do not have another planet to go to. I began this project to better understand the environmental impact of the project at Miriam Vale. It is to this end that I ask for help to find species that may be lost or threatened if the project goes ahead.
