I have always enjoyed using iNaturalist and haven&#8217;t had any problems. I think it is a great way to track natural activity especially in the spring while tracking phenology. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While participating in this challenge I noticed that many of my peers in the lab group posted very similar plant and animal species even if they were in a different location than me. This just shows that we are all experiencing the same phenophase even though we aren&#8217;t in the exact same location. It is so beautiful to experience these wonderful spring changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internationally there is a lot of biodiversity which is expected but still very cool. Most of the wildlife spans from ocean-side creatures to desert animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had a total of 27 observations for this challenge and my group came up with around 800 observations. All of my observations were made around campus or Centennial Forest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
