The Final Stretch!
We are coming to the final hours of the 2020 City Nature Challenge! As a reminder, you have until May 3rd to upload your images and files, so no pressure to get images uploaded tonight. As long as they were taken/observed from April 24-27, 2020, (and are uploaded by May 3, 2020) they will count towards the challenge. What else will you find this evening? Here is some inspiration for those final posts:
-Record evening birdsong using the voice memo app on your phone, and then upload the song to iNaturalist as an audio file (note: you can only upload audio files from a computer, not from a mobile device, unfortunately). More on how to do this here
-Have you looked for things in and on your house yet? Spiders in the basement, Box Elder Bugs in the garage, bird and wasp nests outside your home- these are great things to add to iNaturalist (they are wild, living things!), especially as we are all staying home, and staying safe.
-Consider getting out for some nighttime observations! There are many insects (and other animals) active at night. Bring a flashlight (or even a black light) and some containers (clear jars, tupperware, etc.) and see if you can catch some nocturnal insects. The clear containers and lights will help you photograph species you find (or you can bring them inside to photograph, and then release them when you are done). A quick internet search for collecting insects at night will yield even more inspiration, for those interested.
Happy observing!
