Chris and Walt have been gearing us up to lead the city of Burlington in the 3 day international BioBlitz. I am a big fan of seek so I was excited to see what I could identify. On Friday I captured a few species when I was walking to class. My friends and I kept sending each other pictures of what we found. I was not expecting to have as much fun as I did with this. On Saturday my friends and I went up to Rock Point to see what we could find. Walt greeted us on his bicycle which was a nice surprise. He was looking for peregrine falcons down at the shore line. After we spent about an hour and a half identifying we walked back up near the school to celebrate with the community. It was great to see everyone come together in Burlington for this event. <\/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=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"254\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-254\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6408-scaled.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">star magnolia<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-251\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6411-scaled.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">common blue violet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"576\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"252\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-576x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-576x1024.jpeg 576w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-169x300.jpeg 169w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-768x1365.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-864x1536.jpeg 864w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-1152x2048.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/IMG_6416-scaled.jpeg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">daffodil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-266\" width=\"240\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/image.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/mpapousc\/files\/2023\/05\/image-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">lady bug<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can now say confidently that I can identify common blue violets, grape hyacinths, and red trillium. Just by having a weekend of exploration has opened my eyes to how many species of plants there are out there. I went on a hike on Sunday and I was able to identify fiddlehead, red trillium, and many trees. Being able to identify species around me has fostered a deeper connection to the world around me. I will definitely use seek and inaturalst when I go home for the summer. It would be amazing if I could identify species of plants that are native to Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2
