For the bioblitz this past weekend, I explored Centennial Woods, the brook, and the campus. Using iNaturalist can be a little tricky when trying to get a good photo of the species, but this weekend it all went pretty smoothly. I was able to join the project and find plenty of species to share. I encountered a lot of plant life – the most interesting were the ostrich ferns just sprouting from the ground.
I also saw frogs and some fish in Centennial Brook. I especially enjoyed sitting by the brook in the few sunny moments this weekend.
It was really interesting to see the species from around the world when scrolling through the challenge on iNaturalist. I liked the pricklypear borers from San Antonio and the tulip tree in the Washington DC Metro Area – two species I didn’t know existed until now.
Below are just a few other pictures from my BioBlitz time:
