It was a very quiet and peaceful day, so I was able to hear the birds very clearly. The most memorable part of the experience was when I was able to get very close to an American Robin. I walked very slowly until I was about 2 feet away, which is the closest I have ever been to a bird that I remember. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using iNaturalist was a very cool experience. I liked being able to upload a picture and have the computer identify what is in it. I was not very knowledgeable about the species I was capturing, and I feel like I have learned a lot from this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports from other participating cities were fascinating to view, especially ones from different countries. My favorites to look through were from Canada, where there were many beautiful flower species that I had not heard of before. I am excited that I was able to participate in this event!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-53\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/sesexton2\/files\/2021\/05\/IMG_1304-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>a Common Grackle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the City Nature Challenge, I went for a walk on the bike path that starts near Redstone Lofts.
