Day 1 Update

What a great first day we had!

The NHMLA community science team split up and attended two different events - bioblitzing at Pt. Fermin and working with iNaturalist power users and educational staff at the Los Angeles Zoo. It was great to meet so many people in person!

Our totals, so far, are 1,956 observations, 598 species, 101 identifiers, and 190 observers. And this was a work day! We expect even more participation on Saturday. If you are looking for something to do, you can join one of the local L.A. events (see earlier journal post for list of events) -- or go out on your own.

If you want to see how L.A. measures up against the rest of the world, check out the official leaderboard (this is on the City Nature Challenge website, rather than iNaturalist because there are a few cities using different platforms. http://citynaturechallenge.org/leaderboard/ San Francisco and San Diego both made strong starts, but we can beat them. GO L.A.!
