Day 3 of our Bioblitz was a Hit!

Congratulations to all who participated this weekend! We saw so many amazing and intriguing observations on Day 3.

Thank you for helping us better understand Ottawa's biodiversity. Learning more about the living things in our city is incredibly important. We need to work towards creating an Ottawa that integrates nature into urban environments instead of pushing wildlife away. Your observations are critical in this shift, so we can learn what plants, birds, or bugs call Ottawa home.

We will be releasing the FINAL RESULTS soon. So stay tuned to see how many total observations were collected, who our top observer was this weekend, and more!

Thank you again to all who participated and helped support Ottawa towards a more green and just future!

Yours naturally,

The Ecology Ottawa Team

Day 2 of our Summer Bioblitz!

Day 2 is going wonderfully! Today's sunshine has brought all iNaturalist enthusiasts out! We love seeing your observations, from the Northern Leopard Frog to the American White Admiral!

We are already at 86 observations today! More than DOUBLE of yesterday's observations. Let's keep the momentum going. We still have just over 32 hours to go.

Keep observing!

Welcome to Day 1 of our Bioblitz!

Thank you for joining us! We see some new members to our project and want to give you a wave!

Today is the day! Now begins the first of three days of observing, compiling, and documenting all the critters and living things we see around us. You don’t have to go far to see how beautiful and rich with biodiversity Ottawa is! So get outside and spend some time with Ottawa’s nature.

Let’s try to collect as many observations as we can this weekend! We will be posting total observation counts at the end of each day on our Instagram page!

Did you want to be featured on our Instagram Stories? Share your observations with us via email at biodiversity@ecologyottawa.ca or share them on Instagram using the #EOBioblitz and tagging @ecologyottawa, and you might just be featured!

Need some support on uploading your observations? Look at our earlier posts and you’ll see we have detailed instructions on how to participate.

Happy observing!

Yours naturally,

The Ecology Ottawa Team

Are you ready? Our Summer Bioblitz starts tomorrow!

Join the Ecology Ottawa community this weekend as we try to observe and document as many natural observations in our city as possible.

Participating is easy! Here are some helpful instructions:

  1. You have made it to our Project Journal, so it is safe to assume you have already joined Ecology Ottawa’s
    iNaturalist Project. Step 1 done!

  2. Get outside! Look for all kinds of wildlife, butterflies, birds, you name it!
  3. Take a picture of your observations. You can take a picture on the iNaturalist app or you can upload them
    onto iNaturalist from your photo library.

  4. Since you have joined the Ecology Ottawa project, your observations will automatically be added to our
    Bioblitz! Just make sure to put your location down when you’re adding your observations.

That is it! It's that easy.
