The surveys are over, but the research continues

A Big thanks to everyone who came out and helped us survey for reptiles, amphibians, and all other living things in the park for six nights over the last two weeks. We're continuing to get observations as people return home and upload what they saw, so keep checking to see how the numbers end up. We also appreciate the many people who didn't attend, but are helping identify what we saw!

The next step for the park is to review each casual observation to see if we can refine the identification, and summarize the surveys. The things we can learn include: Which survey method was the most effective for diversity or for specific types of animals, how species are distributes along the road, how weather affects animal activity, and many others.

Thanks again, and continue to use iNaturalist to assist scientists around the world to understand nature.,
