First of all, my group unfortunately did not win. We were a tragically close second. Secondly, I did not get to participate in the BioBlitz as much as I wanted to as I injured my hand and spent most of the time either in the emergency room or the pharmacy. Just before that though, I went on a walk along the bike path on spear street to try and make some contributions. I was excited to see pussywillows and I stopped to collect some of the branches that had not begun releasing pollen. I also was cardinals, squirrels and slugs. Using iNaturalist was easier than I thought. I expected it to take a longer time to make entries but all I needed to do was post the picture and location to get going. I did not expect so many people to contribute globally but clearly a lot of people were inspired.
