I spent roughly two hours walking through Centennial Woods looking for some spots to stop and scope out some birds and other critters. There are a couple of bird feeders in the woods, so those were the best spots to sit and wait for some different species to stop by. I ended up finding a bunch of smaller creatures like a salamander under a log. Using iNaturalist was pretty easy, I was able to quickly observe by either recording or taking a photo and identify the exact species. I was able to identify roughly 22 different species throughout this challenge. I thought it was interesting finding all the different species around the globe. I particularly loved seeing the different pictures of insects more recently. I noticed a lot of bees in a lot of the observations which was very interesting to me due to how many different species I did see. <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41\" width=\"295\" height=\"393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29292035-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 295px) 100vw, 295px\" \/><figcaption>Porcupine Tracks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42\" width=\"282\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29152033-1-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 282px) 100vw, 282px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43\" width=\"284\" height=\"378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/files\/2022\/04\/IMG_29352037-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 284px) 100vw, 284px\" \/><figcaption>Eastern Red-Backed Salamander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":7144,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"lmessmer","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/author\/lmessmer\/"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7144"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38\/revisions\/44"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/lmessmer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
