Earn a badge!
Great job everyone! The four observations days have passed, but you have until May 7th to upload pictures you took from Fri-Mon and haven't had time to upload yet. You also have until May 7th to ID as much as you can! You can focus on IDing in coastal plain, or even venture out further and ID species you're familiar with in other areas of their range.
Results are finalized May 8th!
Did you know that by participating in this year's NC BioBlitz, you can receive an embroidered patch in the mail?
Everything you need to know about how to earn a badge can be found on Science Across NC's event website here: https://scienceacrossnc.org/events/bioblitz/
In summary, there are two different ways to earn the badge.
• Make 20 observations between Apr 28-May 1
OR
• Make 10 observations between Apr 28-May 1 AND 15 identifications between Apr 28- May 7
Whichever of the two ways you end up choosing, be sure to report your participation afterwards to claim your badge. You can find the reporting form on Science Across NC's event website or here in this journal post: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd-cNP3WikotHwexbjKS0TmIL9j9s-8W8IdJvBFr7AzK1JHig/viewform?usp=send_form
This form is how Science Across NC verifies your participation and gets your mailing address to know where to send your new embroidered patch. Consider filling out the survey at the end as well.
Thank you all for this year's amazing bioblitz!
