HOW-TO TIP: Bird Observations
iNaturalist is used to report an observation of a single individual of a single species, so it’s not the best option to document a birding excursion which records multiple individuals and species during a specific time period. However, if you observe a bird that isn’t on an eBird checklist (and have a photo or sound), please make an iNaturalist observation to report it. IMPORTANT! eBird users, please share your checklist with the username: CharliePainterBioblitz.
A list of birds in the BioBlitz area during July is available at http://www.arizonabirder.com/pdf/Arizona-Field-Checklist-July.pdf. Copies will be available at the event table. The list is helpful to track and tally the number of species you saw. If you do not use eBird, please turn your annotated lists in at the end of the event.
