Thanks!

Thanks to everybody who was involved in making our first Vineyard bioblitz a success! The species count will be an evolving process, but at present, counting iNat records and what I anticipate for bird records in eBird, we will probably come out around 300 species for the day. An impressive total!

Particular thanks to The Trustees of Reservations for hosting the event and running the aquatic seining program; to our group leaders -- Luanne Johnson, Pete Gilmore, Shea Fee, Margaret Curtin, and Greg Palermo -- for contributing their time and expertise; to Sammi Chaves for her logistical support and energetic field work; and to the participants who brought their interest and enthusiasm to the project. The species total included several first iNat records for the Vineyard, and in general the work everybody put in made a real contribution to the study of nature on Martha's Vineyard.

As always, my personal day in the field left me in awe of the habitats and biodiversity of our little island.

Let's do it again!
