Diario del proyecto 2019 Sam McDonald Park Bioblitz

Dear BioBlitzers - A job well done, under less-than-perfect conditions.

We are steaming towards over 200 species and over 900 observations. Some genuinely unusual species were found, especially fungi - a by-product of this remarkably welcome wet winter.

Please do your part, to the best of your abilities, to help with identifying observations of others.

And don't forget to join us for more BioBlitz fun at Huddart County Park, Saturday, April 27, as part of the City Nature Challenge!

Thanks again - Jennifer (a.k.a. gyrrlfalcon)

Dear Sam McDonald BioBlitzers -

We are going to brave the rainy forecasts for tomorrow. The organizers of the Blitz have designed a strategy whereby people can fan out across the park through car-pooling, and explore some of the most bio-diverse corners of the park without being far from the shelter of their vehicles. While the weather may suppress some taxa (birds and mammals) it may encourage others (salamanders and more intensely colored lichens). Be a champion for nature and come out to BioBlitz the rainforest - in the rain! It's the habitat!

8:45 in the main parking lot.
