Over the Weekend during the 4 days of our annual urban Bioblitz I went back to Derway Island to document the wildlife in that area. I also went to the woods behind my dorm on the Trinity Campus, I do not know if these woods have a proper name, but I tend to call it “Trinity Woods.”
This is a map of Derway Island.
The place outlined in red is “Trinity Woods”
My overall Experience using iNaturalist was great. I love the feature that gives you suggested species in pictures you took. It is a wonderful way to Learn new species that you did not know before. My only struggle was figuring out how to get my observations posted onto the Lab Section Project but shout out Emily for helping me figure it out.
Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) spotted at Derway
White-Tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus) spotted at Derway
Common Garter Snake (Thamnophis sirtalis) Spotted at Derway Island.
Partidge Berry (Mitchella repens) Spotted at Trinity Woods.
Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) spotted at Trinity Woods.
Looking at the Bioblitz stats Cape town shocked me with 32,784 observations. I was curious to see what kind of species were documented and It was cool to see all the different type of species that exist there like Baboons, Bontebok, and Common ostrich. There were also a couple of species that we had in common such as the Eastern Grey squirrel and Great Cormorant.
