For the City Nature Challenge, I ended up just exploring campus a bit because of time and transportation constraints. Using iNaturalist was easy, I have been using iNat for quite some time and have even led my own community wide BioBlitz before and made my own project back home.
Things I found interesting looking at the results was how huge cities outside the US, such as Hong Kong and Rome, did not have many participants despite having such large populations but did overall record many observations. Comparing the small city of Burlington to the entire north half of my home state, Ohio, Burlington had much more observations. I think it’s cute and neat that such small cities outcompeted huge cities and counties.
I only recorded six species which are pictured below:
