Дорогие друзья!
В связи с началом лета мы увеличили копилку "Флоры России" - теперь в ней собраны данные по 700 видам-кандидатам. Напомним, что теперь модель компьютерного зрения дополняется новыми видами ежемесячно.
В общем, зде...
Yksi riistakamerapaikka osoittautui aarreaitaksi: kameraan tallentui muutaman päivän aikana vähintään 2-3 eri karhua, mäyrä, ilves ja useita eri hirviä, mukaan luettuna emä ja pieni vasa. Siirsin paikalle kaksi kameraa lisää, jotta saisin (toivottavasti) lisää kuvia eri kuvakulmista. Yhdellä videolla näkyy kaksi karhua syömässä ruohoa samaan aikaan, mutta toinen karhuista näkyy vain osittain (en saanut hyvää kuvakaappausta, jossa kaksi karhua näkyisi selvästi).
Pelkäsin liikkumi...

Seal Cove, tour for 6th graders from Bayshore School Daly City Very cosmopolitan. Well behaved
Many ochre, several bats & leathers. Overall, good. Good group.
Today I walked in Jockey Hallow located in Morristown National Park. I observed many different types of flowering plants as I walked with my family and my dog along the various hiking paths. Most of the flora in my area are, especially in the national park, giant angiosperms which are primarily oak trees. It was a bright warm day which made observing the flowering/blooming plants very pleasant. I also observed what I believe is Siebold's Viburnum, a white flowering plant that is an invas...
In the natural world, the struggle for survival is a difficult, often harsh constant. In the persistent evolutionary arms race of eat or be eaten and competition over resources, species have adapted ingenious survival strategies to thrive in this bustling ecosphere. Bees are an excellent example of highly developed adaptations. Eusocial bees, like the honey bees we’re all most familiar with, are capable of exceptionally efficient, industrious harmony. They build their own homes, care for...
Morning:
Northwest Beach: Eastern Giant Swallowtail and Summer Azure. Barn Swallows and American White Pelicans high overhead.
Then off to the Visitor Centre where we followed the Shuster Trail to the eastern shore. High water levels prevented us from walking along the shore. Then the Woodland Nature Trail behind the Visitor Centre where we saw more “hoary puccoon” and eastern prickly pear cactus.
Afternoon:
We parked in the parking lot at the Marsh Board...

Hey Pollinator Pals!
May has treated us well here in the beehive state, with warm afternoons and enough rain to keep the gardens lush. With this rise in temperatures, we’ve also seen a flurry of pollinator activity!
This month, our incredible community scientists have logged 1,464 pollinator observations across Utah! Our top three species include the
Today, Carolee and I visited the Eastside of the Pend Oreille valley, starting at Nelway and ending with a trip up Limpid Creek Road. We logged 26 butterfly species for the day. 1-Western Tiger Swallowtail, 12-Pale Swallowtail, 2-Anise Swallowtail (no photo), 2-Sara Orangetip (no photo), 1-Margined White, 6-Clouded Sulphur, 2-Purplish Copper, 1-Brown Elfin, 1-Rosner's Hairstreak, 1-Echo Azure, 2-Asher's Blue, 10-Boisduval's Blue, 1-Lorquin's Admiral (no photo), 1-Mourning Cloak (no pho...
The flowering plant known as false mermaid (Floerkea proserpinacoides), previously thought to be extirpated in Vermont, has been rediscovered. For a detailed account, see: vtdigger.org 2024-05-30

I went on a long walk in the woods near my house, as I often do, but making an effort to pay attention to the plants I passed made me realize how much biodiversity there is around me. That is not to say that I live in the most biodiverse place in the country, I certainly do not believe that, I just realized that not all green leafy plants are the same. I spent most of my walk looking for a plant that would fall into the seedless vascular plant family, keeping an eye out for ferns in part...
Hello everyone,
Hope you've had some chance to enjoy nature this month, wherever you've been. It's been a great month. We seem to have had a bumper spring for iNat hoverflies, which seems to be improving the diversity of what is recorded compared to previous years.
Fantastically, w...
We're excited to share our May News Highlights! If you missed last month’s highlights, you can catch up here.

Here I am going to add my list of resources that I have found and as well as given to me by some very helpful people from iNaturalist for other people to use as well! If you have more resources that I need to check out as well, please add them to the comment section as well! I am still a beginner IDer so anything helps! Will keep this list updated
30 мая спугнули пару фазанов на склоне Амзая у Широкой балки. Самка улетела, самец юркнул в заросли и найти его не удалось.
Here is my bird life list link:

I have complied all my birds listed from my bird life list from ebird and Merlin Bird ID. I update my list on a somewhat regular basis. Currently the list shows 67 species but on my Merlin Bird ID list, I have 68 species. I plan on correcting this mist...
We likely have 9 genera - Aphaenogaster, Crematogaster, Harpagoxenus, Leptothorax, Myrmecina, Myrmica, Stenamma, Temnothorax, Tetramorium, in the sub family Myrmicinae in NB.
This key covers all of the genera in NA but with a bit of work can be used to separate our 9 genera. Of course, one has to work out how to separate the Myrmicinae from the other 3 subfamilies in NB - Ponerinae, Dolichoderinae, Formicinae!
I noticed that it is a good time for a reminder and a call for help with flower identifications. I'm happy to see many new members of the project and a lot of records. It's field season, so probably I have to come back to this topic at the end of the summer when it is time for more identifications again.
So, the main aim of the project is to record the flowering plant taxon the pollinator was visiting. For difficult plants it can be an ID at family level, but hopefully a lot of p...
We have 4 genera - Brachymyrmex, Camponotus, Formica, Lasius, in the sub family Formicinae in NB.

Многие виды не могут попасть в проект из-за довольно простой причины: их уже увидел кто-то из участников, однако, это не значит, что все они останутся без нашего внимания!
Давайте постараемся уменьшить наши списки в начале лета.)

The estuary dished up some delightful sightings during this month of May:
Birds
Some special sightings recorded. The Eurasian Oystercatcher (Haematopus ostralegus) - a black and white version of our familiar African Black Oystercatcher - has returned to Stanley Island, possibly the same individual that made an appearance for a while last year (2023)
The Eurasian Curlew (Numenius arquata) was seen again on the estuary this month and, being this late, may well ...
This year, June will have THREE mini challenges in addition to having a June observation and species finder champion.
The NYC EcoFlora Project has a challenge every month and this year, our Summer of Nature project is going to join in! Their June EcoQuest is "Fern Foray" and its goal is to "help document as many ferns growing wild in NYC as ...
Personal Bioblitz 2024 results (short version - e-mail Lena Struwe for the full version)
March 1 – May 15, 2024
The Personal Bioblitz 2024 is over, and the 11th edition of this annual project again saw strong engagement by nature enthusiasts around the world. We have new records in the most species seen by a single person, and over 50 000 observations reported by 99 participants. This report also introduces some new statistics, like animals versus plants (plants won, just bar...
Hey folks! Let's show off the nature around us and practice making observations for BioBlitz 2024! All through June, July, and August, make iNaturalist observations and have them count towards this project. How many different species can we find? How far can we expand our map? What will be the most observed species? Let's find out!
Here's how to participate:
1 - Join the project (the Join button is in the project banner on the app and in the browser).
2 - Make observa...
