Using iNaturalist was especially fun during this event as I had not used it much before. I appreciated how the app gave suggestions on the species I observed, which usually confirmed my predictions. I also enjoy how it connects me with others in the Greater Burlington Area who are able to comment on my own observations. Personally, I encountered countless species over this four day period, but I only uploaded 7 of them. These 7 species included thornless honey locust, dandelions, paper birch, daffodils, American robin, ring-billed gull, and eastern cottontail. In looking through the observations of other cities, I was suprised at which cities were in the lead and which ones were not. I saw that some cities with great biodiversity were not as active in the challenge as other cities were. Additionally, I was just in awe of all of the different species I was seeing throughout the world, that people are able to encounter on an everyday basis. This challenge has definitely inspired me to use iNaturalist when I&#8217;m home as well as participate in the next BioBlitz! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"771\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"143\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612-771x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612-771x1024.jpeg 771w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612-768x1020.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612-1156x1536.jpeg 1156w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9612.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"145\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613-772x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613-772x1024.jpeg 772w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613-768x1019.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613-1158x1536.jpeg 1158w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9613.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"147\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614-774x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-147\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614-774x1024.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614-227x300.jpeg 227w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614-768x1015.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614-1162x1536.jpeg 1162w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9614.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"773\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"144\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615-773x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615-773x1024.jpeg 773w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615-227x300.jpeg 227w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615-768x1017.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615-1160x1536.jpeg 1160w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9615.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 773px) 100vw, 773px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"772\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"146\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616-772x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616-772x1024.jpeg 772w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616-768x1019.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616-1158x1536.jpeg 1158w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/erussel3\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_9616.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During this four-day urban bioblitz, I mostly explored the natural areas that are on the campus of UVM, with some explorations of the nearby neighborhoods.
