Подскажите, друзья, кто знает:
когда я не знаю что это за птица, совсем не знаю я ставлю класс: Птицы или вороьбиные, если это точно кто-то их них.
Что ставить когда я не знаю (а я никогда не знаю) что это за рыба, какой тут класс у рыб?

© Photographer: William Wise | iNat Observation: 66532942 - Killdeer; Walton County, Georgia. January 18, 2018.

Arriving a bit early to work, I drove around back to the retention pond. Out on the water were about 25 Redheads. I didn’t get an exact count but the numbers looked a little bit lower than Tuesday.

While passing the north point of the pond I spotted a small plover-like bird in the weeds. For some reason, the Killdeer which typically hang out in the parking lot, were standing huddled up on the semi-frozen surface of the pond. It was a chilly 19° and breezy. Poor birds. But I was nice and warm shooting from the cab of my warm truck.

Back in the office, I was puzzled when nearly every shot of the Killdeer was blurry. Why? I was stabilizing it on the truck window while shooting. I’m sure I had a high enough shutter speed. Well, I remembered that nice feeling I had “shooting from the cab of a warm truck.” I forgot to turn off the engine while shooting! Apparently the Vibration Reduction feature on the lens can’t overcome the continuous vibrating of a running motor! Lesson learned.

Walton County, Georgia January 18, 2018.

• Sunny, high near 46°. Clear tonight, low 23°
• Sunrise 7:37 AM; sunset 5:50 PM
• Day length: 10 hours, 12 minutes
• Moon: 2% waxing crescent

With over 200 observations, and having just tipped over 100 species, here are some things we’ve learned from this project already as novice iNaturalist users.

The project was started on October 1st, 2020, which probably explains some of the distribution of research grade observations - currently 60% birds! Although it includes observations made before the project was set up, there were only a few, spread over three years.

Despite being a meadow, we’ve got relatively few research grade plant records (25). This is partly due to the season, but it has to be partly down to the difficulty of verifying plant IDs. It can be tricky to take pictures which show all the characteristics necessary for someone else to ID the plant. And photos can’t show characteristics like smell, which can be an important part of identification. If you are using Seek, you may not even know what someone else needs to see to verify the record. So as spring comes around, this is definitely something we’ll be looking to improve.

The opposite of plants, birds are very easy, and often incredibly fast, to get community IDs. Of the research grade species recorded on the meadow, nearly 40% are birds. The most observed species (and probably individual) is the kestrel, which makes sense because I find it really hard to walk past without taking a picture of that beautiful bird.

The next biggest group of observations is insects. Though we have quite a few butterflies from 2019 and 2020, this is mostly a random selection of flying things that have hung on into autumn and some insect-caused plant galls. As spring and summer come around, I expect this group will get much bigger - only four beetles and two bees so far, even though they are pretty much everywhere in the right season.

In a typical example of the fast moving state of iNaturalist data, in the time I have been writing this, we have had another species bumped up to research grade, taking us to One Hundred and Two species. Already closer to our next hundred species. And who knows how many species the meadow supports?

За время проведения конкурса Российская зима 2020-2021 Санкт-Петербург в черте города было сделано 2 733 наблюдения 87 видов птиц, это примерно 11% от всех наблюдений птиц в Санкт-Петербурге, а также 39% от всех встреченных на данный момент видов птиц (233).
Такой результат оказался возможен благодаря трудам 94 наблюдателей, пятеро из которых сделали 200 и более наблюдений, а четверо встретили 50 и более видов.

Join us in the forests of the Murramarang National Park as we search for bugs, bats, birds and everything in between. We’re putting together an exciting line-up of experts to help point out amazing plants, animals, and fungi, explain how they fit into the ecosystem, the impact of the bushfires, and give you all kinds of tips and tricks to help you become a better naturalist!
Grab your hat, your camera, and your moth sheet, and get ready for the Big Bushfire BioBlitz! UNSW Centre for Ecosystem Science, the Atlas of Living Australia, the Australian Citizen Science Association, Minderoo’s Fire and Flood Resilience Initiative, and the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment are joining forces to run 3 bioblitzes across NSW to help track how our native ecosystems are recovering from the 2019-2020 bushfire season.
UNSW fieldwork volunteer requirements mean this event is only open to ages 18+
See COVID- 19 DISCLOSURE on Eventbrite page. Social distancing and wearing masks is recommended.

It will be 6 years come this March since I began a run at year-round mothing. I think the total Lep species count in iNaturalist at the time was little more than 800 (vs 5600+ today). And the bulk of the moth species with 2/3rds of the observations were a consequence of one person, Donald Hobern.

It became evident that some sort of national network of citizen scientists was the only way that we might make inroads into this dearth of knowledge. Not only within one's own lifetime, but given the haste with which the environment degrades, one could argue within the existence of the very species we are trying to reveal.

I continue to do what I can to promote this idea on iNaturalist. Now I am expanding into the launch of a Facebook page I am calling "Australian Mothing News". It is loosely modeled after an online birding news service I ran for a decade beginning in the mid-90's. It is open to the public but with restricted postings (presently solely myself).

===================

https://www.facebook.com/groups/657886238903373

Facebook participation is NOT required to read any of the page entries. However, posting, comments, and access to pdfs may be restricted to Facebook participants.

My mission statement reads ...

This page serves to bring to light the mothing discoveries made through the citizen science community of iNaturalist Australia. Membership will be open to the public initially. Posting privileges will be restricted to members participating in some form of citizen science (but not limited to iNaturalist). I encourage investigating these programs and how you may further our knowledge of Australian moths by becoming a participant. As you will read in these pages, every day people make real contributions right from their own backyard.

and therein, you will find links to iNaturalist Australia and the Atlas of Living Australia.

Initial news page offerings include ...

1. Milestone reached with the number of iNat Lep observations; 50% of those in ALA, and comprising 75% of the human obs. in ALA.
2. New Taxa Alert: presentation of new to iNat obs. involving two Metallarcha sp. from W.A.
3. iNat entry of Trichiocercus with discussion of original descriptions
4. link to an iNat journal offering under the Australian Moth Index, Geometridae.
5. Downloadable crib sheet pdf file in my identification series. A one-page look at the 5 lenticular Ennominae frequently confused with each other {Gastrina, Gastrinodes, Gastrinopa, Aporoctena, Cryphaea).

Regardless of whether you make use of Facebook, I value your thoughts. So please feel free to comment. Whether to critique the page, or offer up potential news items.

Hi everyone! Thanks so much for being a part of Who Eats Whom. I'm writing to share that we have a website with a simple mockup of the observations submitted to our project so far.

Link here: https://whoeatswhom.org/

The home page shows species-level interactions among all research-grade observations of predation in our project. A separate page shows the relationship at a coarser taxonomic level. More features will be coming out to make these graphics more useful (searchable, for instance) in the coming months.

Thanks again and please let me know your thoughts! I've had to really up my coding skills to bring all the different pieces together for this and am pleased to finally see at least the beginnings of a useful end result for everyone.

Best,

Bradley

Hey Eliot:

I'm actually pretty pumped about how this inat format might work for us. First thing, take all your photos on you phone from September 1st, 2021 to present (and continuing forward) and "batch upload them to your account. If your lucky the data in pic (loc and time) will be in each pic and it will sort it automatically, if not- I have a work-around but it takes a little more effort- just ipload them mainly. The project should automaically include all yours that were taken in either Mississippi and Louisiana. --Thats one of the limits I put on it since our focus is Greater New Orleans area- liberally from Mississippi Guld Coast to Lafayette. Anyways upload at least some and lets see if this thing works. If its from those states and dates since Sept. 2021 it should auto show up in the group. We'lllll see

Conducted survey of South side from 8:00 am - 12:30 pm. Weather was 44° F, cloudy.

Observers: Karan and Matt (SFBBO Staff)

Documented 147 dead newts of which at least 1 was a juvenile.

Documented Human Activity:
Cars: 32
Motorcycles: 0
Bikes: 17
Pedestrian: 3
Parked cars: 12

Notes: A lot of the newts were pretty fresh since the guts were spilling out while scraping them. No one asked what we were doing except a couple of bicyclists who were biking shouted "No need to eat that, I can give you my power bars". To which I responded "Have you tried Newt Jerky? it tastes better than beef jerky".

Saw a couple of live newts around the soda springs canyon crossing over to the forest, so gave them a free ride to the other side of the road.

Jan 11

While we were all excited to go to White Horse Key, many of us were dreading the paddle. We had endured around 8 or 10 miles on the Turner River the day before, and were about to go through about 12 more. We got up around 7, had our traditional oatmeal breakfast at 8, and were out of Trails Lake by 9:15. We arrived at the Collier-Seminole State Park around 9:45, and we set out on our kayaks and canoes at 10:30.
The first several miles of our paddle went relatively smoothly; we steered through calm waters, with dense mangrove forests on either side of us. We stopped at a muddy sandbar/oyster bar to have a lunch of muenster cheese sandwiches, hand delivered by Miette, who had stepped into the water, not realizing how deep she would sink into the mud. She decided that, since she was already in the water, she might as well save us the mess and bring us all food herself (like a true Quaker). We finished off our lunch with hot, melty Clif bars, and continued on our paddle.
Around this time, two of our three canoes, steered by Josh, Nathen, Ben, and Hannah, were joined in holy matrimony. They became one being, a single vessel, by holding a tarp up to the wind and making the best damn sail boat any of us had ever seen. While many of us were doubtful, the wind filled their sails (tarp, rather), and they zoomed away, taking the lead of our pack of boats with very little effort, while we watched with excitement and chagrin.
As we left the river and entered the bay, we were surprised by a majestic pod of dolphins, either 2 or 3 of them. They were hunting fish, and breached the surface in the process, giving us a beautiful show. However, as we waved fair well to the dolphins and steered further into the bay, the waters and strong winds became increasingly perilous. Our vessels were being thrown around by the choppy waves like a shoe in a washing machine; constantly rocking back and forth, being turned off course, and filling with salty, salty water.
Against all odds, 13 soggy Earlhamites arrived at an island, although not the one we intended to camp at. We ended our paddle at Gullivan Key, the island immediately north of White Horse Key. We pulled our boats up onto the shore, set up our tents, and Chris made gourmet quesadillas as the sun set beyond the waves. We ate dinner and sat around a beach campfire, and went to sleep shortly after.

Jan 12

We woke to the sound of gentle waves crashing against the sand. While we ate our breakfast of champions (oatmeal, obviously), Chris deemed that it would be a free day to do what we wanted. We all explored in one way or another; while some of us set out to paddle the bay in kayaks, others stayed behind and walked the circumference of the island, looking in the tidal pools at sea shells and marine life. We saw hermit and horse shoe crabs, comb jellies, mollusks and snails, a giant sting ray, ospreys, reddish egrets, brown and American white pelicans, sanderlings, american oyster catchers, ruddy turnstones, anemones, and a fisherman who sold us mullet (the fish, not the haircut) for about a dollar a pound.
After buying about 16 pounds of fish, Chris cooked it up for our lunch (as well as dinner, since there was so much left over), and many of us either ate it on its own, or on bagel sandwiches. Shortly following lunch, most of us got back in the water to keep exploring the tidal pools, but some of us stayed behind and took naps on the sand or in hammocks. As the sun was going down, we finished off our fish in an early dinner, with Nathan "Fish Champ" Brophy leading us to victory, by eating approximately 3 or 4 fish fillets (about 2 fishes worth). We made smores around a campfire, and turned in for the night around 9 or 10.

Jan 13

While we had planned to set for another early morning (estimated leaving time was 8 am), we woke up to rain on our tents and hammocks around 7 am. We ate dry bagels for a quick breakfast, deconstructed camp in the rain, and surprisingly only had about a 30 minute delay, getting back on the water by 8:30.

The water in the bay as we were leaving the island was very calm, much different from two days prior. We paddled through the bay back into the mangroves with much more ease than before, and much less water in our boats. We continued through the beautiful mangroves, where the water stayed pretty calm and still. We made it back into the Collier-Seminole State Park around 12:30, and promptly drove to Pollo Tropical, for a much needed and very delicious lunch.
Following lunch, we retreated to Trails Lake, where we reconstructed camp and took the rest of the afternoon for ourselves. Most of us showered and changed clothes, and did laundry (since we were covered in a layer of salt and sand). We opted for hot dogs and veggie dogs for dinner, eaten around yet another campfire. We finished eating, hung out around the fire to avoid the mosquitos as much as possible, and went to bed around 10.

Funga chilena alcanzó las 13000 observaciones!

My nature-related interests span throughout all groups of organisms--from lichens to liverworts, and from slime molds to salamanders. However, birds are at the core of that interest, and I'll probably always be a birder at heart, no matter what I end up doing. In 2021, I actually beat my own record for number of species seen: by the end, I'd racked up 285 species, ~79% of the total number of birds I've ever seen. This was due to a variety of factors. For example, COVID restrictions easing up made travel a better idea, and my college graduation was timed in such a way that I got to experience birds' breeding season in Vermont and California, to name two. Regardless, to celebrate this milestone, I figured I'd draft a quick journal post with my top ten favorite life-list species from this past year.

First, an important caveat: except for number 10 (which should be number 1, but iNat auto-formats lists I guess), these won't be in any significant order. I love all birds too much for that! This first ranking concerns new lifers. Anyhow, on to the list!

1. Common Redpoll (and Hoary Redpoll). These irruptive winter finches are really something. I'm including them both here due to their similarity, but also due to the fact that I'm not convinced they're distinct species (for more info, go here). Their confusing taxonomy is part of what makes them interesting, in my book. Either way, I love redpolls! It took a couple of expeditions for me to find even a Common Redpoll this past winter, but when I did, you can bet these adorable finches were present in large numbers! This was a good year for lovers of irruptive finches, including Pine Grosbeak and Red Crossbill, and clearly, redpolls were no exception. Thanks as well go to Allan Strong for allowing people to view the Hoary Redpolls at his house.
2. Northern Fulmar. This was the first new species I saw on my first-ever marine pelagic, so of course this little tubenose is one of my favorites. This one was so close to the boat that I didn't need my big fancy lens, I could just use my cell phone to grab a pic!
3. Short-eared Owl and Rough-legged Hawk. These two wintry raptors are a package deal because I saw them both on the same day, and I was equally stoked about both. They're also similar ecologically, being widespread Holarctic birds of prey that frequent open areas, are at least occasionally diurnal, and whose distribution can be somewhat hard to predict. They're both gorgeous birds as well, really leaving a solid impression on whoever sees them.
4. Sabine's Gull. This one was another I saw on the pelagic trip, and as an avid gull enthusiast (for some reason), I couldn't help but mention it. Everything about them is just so weird for a gull! They're mostly pelagic, have slender black bills with yellow tips, and are in a genus all their own, Xema. Cornell's All About Birds compares them to terns, and with good reason. They fly similarly, and have similar overall lifestyles. Sabine's Gull is definitely distinct, though, and the number we saw out on the open sea was a pleasant surprise.
5. Lesser Sand-Plover. By far the most far-flung and unusual bird I saw in 2021, an immature "Mongolian Plover" showed up on a beach just outside Santa Cruz and drew in birders from all around the Bay Area, if not farther. Indeed, a key field mark was the large group of scope- and camera-laden birders near the bird! The Lesser Sand-Plover was a charming little shorebird, chasing some of the nearby Snowy Plovers around and hunkering down on the sand. If not for this bird's wrong turn, I'm not sure I ever would have gotten to find one, so I'm grateful for the opportunity I had.
6. South Polar Skua. I'm completely fascinated by the wildlife of Antarctica, so the name of this bird alone grabbed my attention. As it turns out, the name is well-deserved, as the breeding range encircles Antarctica. This skua seems like a big brute, especially compared to the jaegers I saw alongside it, but as it turns out, it's only around the size of a Western Gull, and is one of the smallest of the true skuas. Still, this veritable raptor of the sea is really cool, and I'm glad I was able to see one.
7. White-winged Dove. I'm proud to say that this was a rarity I was able to find all on my own, and the first iNaturalist record from Santa Cruz County! Weirdly enough, I saw this on the exact same day I saw my first-ever White-winged Scoter! In any case, this vagrant dove showed up on a wire over a building, and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. I can be quoted as saying, "Oh my god, is that a White-winged Dove?" It was unfortunately unable to be found by any other birders, but I'm glad that I at least got to get a look at this new species for my life list.
8. Burrowing Owl. Ever since I was a youngster reading through the Guardians of Ga'Hoole books, I've been fascinated by owls, with the Burrowing Owl being a long-time favorite. Its unusual life history, living in burrows and being active at times other owls wouldn't, as well as its small size, combine to make a cute, interesting species I'm glad I've finally seen! In addition to my life bird, there was another individual found in Santa Cruz County, which I was able to get much better photos of. What a cool little owl!
9. Varied Thrush. I can confidently say I haven't had this much fun with a lifer in a long time. At the end of a multi-hour car drive with a great friend of mine, we reached our stopover destination in Humboldt County and, as we had some extra time, arbitrarily decided to stop by Sequoia Park. Imagine my surprise when, mere minutes after leaving the car, I heard this eerie song echoing throughout the redwoods. It was a thrill, and not one I'll soon forget.
10. Black-footed Albatross. How could I not pick this bird? Like the Burrowing Owl, albatrosses are something I've been hoping to see since before I started birding. Their huge wingspans and the grace with which they soar over the waves is simply incredible. The three(!) albatrosses I saw on my pelagic journey were the perfect capstone to an already amazing day, and I couldn't have asked for anything more from my trip.

I managed to see quite a few other birds this year, beyond just lifers! I could mention some of my top favorites, like Hutton's Vireo, Western Gull, or Wrentit, but I think mentioning some noteworthy species would be much more interesting. Here are some birds that really stuck out to me, even though I'd already seen or heard them before. There are way more than ten worth noting here, like the Marbled Murrelet I saw at the wharf, the surprising and adorable pair of nesting Blue-gray Gnatcatchers at Missisquoi, or the lovely flocks of American Tree Sparrows I saw during the winter, to name just three. Despite this, I did my best to narrow all the species down to just ten.

1. Northern Cardinal. Cliche and/or overdone? Sure, maybe. I can't deny this bird's charm, though. After all, it was one of the last birds I saw or heard before leaving Vermont, and I miss having these brightly colored birds around now that I'm back in California. Hearing them sing or even just call from my urban apartment was always a good reminder that nature is never too far away.
2. Northern Waterthrush. Among my favorite warblers, ever since it was my first "rare" sighting back in 2016, this bird was a delight to see and hear. There's something that's just so cool about a little warbler that, instead of being in the treetops like its kin, prefers to stay on the ground near the water. I don't have a ton to say about this one, only that I look forward to the next waterthrush I can find!
3. Red-winged Blackbird. Another kind of generic pick, but one that's worth noting. Winter 2020-21 was the first that I spent the entirety of in a truly cold climate, with no "breaks," for reasons I'll detail later. This, along with my daily iNat streak, gave me a whole new appreciation for spring, and the "renewal" that comes along with it. For me, nothing symbolized the upcoming arrival of spring more than this species. There's not much that can compare to finally seeing those males arrive on their breeding territory and practicing those familiar songs, konk-a-REE! In addition to its presence in Vermont, however, getting home and finding the nostalgic, familiar California Bicolored blackbirds was also a treat. The Tricolored Blackbird gets an honorable mention here, as these endangered birds are extremely interesting as well, and I was luckily able to see them a couple times in 2021.
4. Parasitic Jaeger and Long-tailed Jaeger. Though they weren't new birds, these might as well have been, considering my only views of them prior to my pelagic trip were distant and brief ones on Lake Champlain when I was a "chum-chucker." As a result, it was exciting to see these two, as well as their relative the Pomarine Jaeger and the aforementioned South Polar Skua, in action over the ocean. They were flying acrobatically, chasing birds like terns and Sabine's Gulls in search of pirated food. Though I do feel somewhat bad for their poor victims, it's undeniable that the jaegers really put on a spectacle.
5. Fish Crow. Being the obsessive birders we are, some friends and I decided to make a "graduation list" (for species we saw or heard during my graduation ceremony). This is the list, and Fish Crow is one of the species on it! More seriously, though, I enjoyed unexpectedly finding this species at a local cemetery I'd adopted as a "patch." I even heard some of the cemetery's resident starlings adopt the Fish Crow's nasally caws into their songs! Its relatively recent expansion into Vermont makes it something special, in my book at least.
6. Fox Sparrow. This was a nice bird to start my year with! On my first Redpoll-seeking journey, I took something of a wrong turn, and ended up taking the longer way towards the meadow where they were reported. This took me through an admittedly lovely hillside forest, so no regrets there. Things got interesting when I saw a small sparrow hopping around a mostly-thawed stream. I initially thought it was a Song Sparrow, but closer investigation revealed it to be a Fox Sparrow—a rarity for that time of year, and my Vermont first, to boot!
7. Hooded Merganser. A long-time favorite duck, this is another bird with a sentimental attachment for me. It was my first-ever lifer in Vermont, before I even started college there! Ever since that first sighting, coming across any Hoodies is something special. It took until 2021, though, for me to see any in California, or on iNaturalist in general! Now that I have found one, however, it seems almost like they're all over the place. I've seen them in Santa Cruz a couple times since that first sighting, and again when I went to visit my brother in Marin County! You won't hear me complaining, though!
8. Surfbird. My favorite shorebird of them all, this "rockpiper" was lovely to see again upon returning to Santa Cruz. It's always fun to see it running around the jetties and rocky coasts here alongside its constant winter companion, the Black Turnstone, after all. As an added bonus, somehow I'd never gotten a photo of this bird on iNat before, so this was a personal first for the site as well.
9. Hermit Thrush. I couldn't not mention this bird! As the state bird of Vermont and the 100th lifer I ever found on my own, Hermit Thrushes are in a perfect spot to be highly significant to me. Even if I didn't find too many in Vermont in 2021, I found more than enough singing in the Santa Cruz mountains in summer and hanging around wherever in the winter to make up for that. I'm lucky to be able to experience these incredible little thrushes all year long!
10. Golden-crowned Sparrow and Townsend's Warbler. This one, like the cardinal, blackbird, and merganser, is more sentimental. I've always associated the lovely song of the Golden-crowned Sparrow with the onset of fall and winter here, and ever since I got into birding, Townsend's Warbler sightings have joined them in significance. During the winter of 2020-21, however, the pandemic resulted in me spending the holidays away from my family for the first time. Instead, I stayed in Vermont for the entirety of my winter break. Even if it was only for a year, I really missed these two birds, and it was absolutely wonderful to see them again after what felt like such a long time. Whether it's the Golden-crowned being absolutely everywhere or the Townsend's bringing a splash of color to the forests, it's hard to overstate how much these two in particular do to make the environment more "wintry." I love these two birds!

Where to go from here? Well, I do have some hopes for 2022. Returning once more to the list format, albeit not in a top 10 this time, I'll write down a few.

• Resighting a Black Swift, Bullock's Oriole, or Yellow-billed Magpie, among others. It's been at least half a decade since I've seen some species, and I'd love to see them again and especially add my sightings or recordings to iNat.
• Finding one or two owl species I haven't seen or heard before. There are a few species I've yet to find that occur in my area of California: Western Screech and Northern Pygmy* spring to mind, with Spotted being not too far off. Flammulated and/or Great Gray are both possibilities, too, albeit very, very unlikely.
• Tracking down some of my nemesis species, or at least birds I've been trying to find for a while! I've tried time and again to find Iceland Gull, shrikes, Red-necked Grebe, Lesser Yellowlegs, and a couple other species, but I'm still looking for them. Getting to see a bird I've missed before would be more than appreciated.
• Finally, I'd like to bring this site and my "actual" life list closer to a balance. That is to say, I'd like to get audio or photos of species like White-throated Swift, Bell's Sparrow, or Rock Wren that I've seen before, but don't have any record of on iNaturalist.

*This one is in a bit of a weird gray area, so stay tuned!

That's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this read! It's unlikely this will spread around much, but if so, feel free to leave some of your favorite sightings from 2021 in the comments. Thanks for your time, and have a good day! Here's to some really cool species in 2022!

This project collects observations of Geranium yeoi (Greater Herb-Robert) in California for the purpose of facilitating identification and preventing misidentification of this species in iNaturalist.

Photo tips:

• It’s important to get a picture of the entire plant.
• It's also helpful to get close-up pictures of the face of the flowers, sepals, leaves, and fruits, if present.
• If there are multiple plants in the picture, it’s helpful to crop your photo to focus on the plant of interest.

How to identify Geranium yeoi:

• G. yeoi is similar to G. robertianum, but the flower is about 3x as large and the pattern is slightly different. It is often a bit brighter pink and the stripes within the petals are not so distinct, which results in the darker shaded area being more obvious.
• G. yeoi tends to form a clump of leaves, almost a low shrub. The leaves are very substantial and approach the form of other Mediterranean species such as G. palmatum and even G. maderense.
• They grow side-by-side alongside G. reuteri, with which it also appears to hybridize.

Similar Species:

• Geranium robertianum (Herb Robert)
• Geranium purpureum (Little-Robin)
• Geranium maderense (Giant Herb-Robert)

Пришло время проанализировать распределение наблюдений редких и уязвимых видов по регионам страны. Где найдено больше краснокнижных видов? Куда лететь за редкими находками: Алтай, Крым или все-таки Дагестан? А еще пора определить и поблагодарить наиболее успешных наблюдателей в каждом крае, области и республике.

Под охрану на всей территории России подпадает 1119 видов живых организмов. Натуралисты интернет-платформы iNaturalist добавили в проект больше 40000 наблюдений 657 видов (58.7% от всех охраняемых).

Регионы-лидеры по редким наблюдениям в отдельных категориях

Для начала узнаем в каких регионах наибольшее число наблюдений краснокнижных видов по отдельным категориям.

	Растения	Птицы	Млекопитающие	Насекомые	Грибы	Рептилии	Моллюски
Наблюдений из ККРФ	20461	17211	2259	1662	1057	553	42
Лучший регион	Республика Крым	Алтайский край	Московская область	Республика Крым	Ханты-Мансийский автономный округ — Югра	Краснодарский край	Краснодарский край
2-е место	Краснодарский край	Новосибирская область	Владимирская область	Республика Башкортостан	Краснодарский край	Республика Дагестан	Республика Крым
3-е место	Новосибирская область	Республика Алтай	Новосибирская область	Курская область	Алтайский край	Республика Крым	Приморский край

Это вполне предсказуемый результат. Бердвотчеры облюбовали Алтай, а за редкими растениями нужно ехать на юг.

В первой таблице указано количество «краснокнижных» наблюдений. Но интересно посмотреть в каких регионах обнаружено и зафиксировано наибольшее число различных видов из Красной книги России. Такие данные приведены на следующей карте.

Разнообразием редких видов радует Приморский, Ставропольский, Алтайский край, Башкортостан, Волгоградская и Сахалинская область. К сожалению, очень мало загружено значимых наблюдений из Орловской области, Ингушетии и Еврейской АО. Призываю всех, кто был в указанных регионах, загрузить свои находки, даже если они датированы прошлыми годами.

Сводка редких находок в регионах и самые успешные наблюдатели

Все регионы отсортированы по количеству найденных там редких видов из Красной книги России. Для каждого региона указан натуралист, внесший своими наблюдениями наибольший вклад в учет «краснокнижных» видов на территории. Советую подписаться на их новые наблюдения.

Приглашение лучших наблюдателей и экспертов к управлению проектом

Проект «Красная книга России» быстро растет и развивается. Для учета редких наблюдений в регионах, для анализа и проверки самых редких находок, подготовки сообщений в журнал проекта требуется помощь наблюдателей и экспертов из регионов.

Приглашаю тех, кто отмечен в таблице (...назовем их «краснокнижными губернаторами»), стать администраторами этого проекта вместе со мной, чтобы вместе искать новые местообитания охраняемых видов, публиковать статистику и сообщения о наиболее интересных находках в своем регионе. Напишите мне личное сообщение. Давайте вместе сделаем проект лучше!

Вклад натуралистов в регистрацию редких видов в РФ

Отдельно хочу выразить благодарность и упомянуть тех, кто в разных регионах занимает 2-3 места по числу найденных «краснокнижных» видов: @vadim66 @mallaliev @cryptobasis @alinaboksorn @konstantindanilov @aquacielo @noyablokov @borisbolshakov @grihahasanov @yury_kopylov-guskov @shukov @nevski @svetlana_katana @tcager @vladimirov @dssh @anatolipomortsev @vadim_prokhorov @alexander_perevozov @yellow_bird @lyudmilamikh @prokhozhyj @mihail13 @rovzap @maglove @al_losk-lifebra @aleksandrebel @apseregin @katerina_kashirina @zefirka @woodmen19 @anatolymikhaltsov @viktoriabilous @gijwans @igor_scherbakov @alex_iosipenko @alopecurus @sergejseleznev @disertinsky @elena_pismarkina @irinaskorohodova @camrad_48 @sergeyus @sergilus @tomaavtaeva @svstrizh @alexdersu @kltsv @maldo_ror @elena_tikhonova @geolms @uz45 @elena_71 @mariakhoreva @vyacheslavluzanov @vladimir_m @alexeiebel @svg52 @kirillkorznikov @andreyefremov @valerkov @allaverkhozina @marnika @convallaria1128 @ev_sklyar @deniselin @dmitryshtol @naturalist29626paterikina @sofia_khokhlacheva @ed_shaw @igor-dvurekov @divitre @marina_far_east @mirmar_birds @olegglushenkov @hikuta @ochirnima_nimaev @sundry_divers @gyng @merlu @dinasafina @swetlana_meshcheryagina @petr_kosachev @pozh_dm @anisimov-43 @tatyana-omck @nikolai_nakonechnyi @npz @ilya_zabaluev @natalya_ostapova @epopov @beetle23 @egorbirder @kiramarch @skeptyk @kluchnikov_48 @tukkki @tbsilaeva @gonkem1986 @a-travva @anaumkin @evfratova @naturalist55666 @g_kolotin @eleramo @olga_plotnikova @lada_l @nick_ilin @max_carabus @irina_tretyakova @alexander_ignatenko @dmitry_kulakov @elena_andriyanova @a_rover

I did try to be more specific withe the observation locations. Sadly, when I take the location point out of the volcano summit. The app will change the location's name to Contundo, Napo province or something else than de name of the mountain... Something I really don’t want, because of a project I am in, and the name of the mountain at the app location is relevant. Anyway, flora and fauna were found at the slopes, from 4200 to 4900 masl., most of them it below 4500. I am sorry for the misunderstandings.

Congratulations to @cgbb2004 for winning the December 2021 Photo-observation of the Month for the Vermont Atlas of Life on iNaturalist. Charlotte’s photo of a Great Blue Heron braving the cold of a northern Vermont winter received the most faves of any iNaturalist observation in Vermont during the past month.

A familiar visitor of ponds, lakes, and other wetlands in the summer, Great Blue Herons are less common throughout winter in Vermont, when they can occasionally be found along streams, rivers, and other patches of open water where they might have a chance at spearing a fish for a meal. Charlotte encountered this bird a few days before the East Franklin Christmas Bird Count, but the heron was nowhere to be found on count day. The Christmas Bird Count is a century-old birding tradition of counting all the birds in a 15-mile-radius circle, with count circles spread throughout the globe. This invaluable dataset of winter bird populations is fueled by intrepid birders scouring their local habitats as well as homeowners filling their bird feeders and counting their visitors throughout the day. To learn more about the Christmas Bird Count circles in Vermont, click here.

A heartfelt thank you is in order for Charlotte, not only for providing this wonderful photo of her Great Blue Heron encounter, but for contributing (as of this writing) a whopping 44,036 iNaturalist identifications in Vermont alone! Charlotte’s expertise and dedication to helping others on this community science platform is what makes it so fun and scientifically valuable to post sightings to iNaturalist.

With 2,092 observations submitted by 299 observers in December, it was very competitive. Click on the image above to see and explore all of the amazing observations.

Visit the Vermont Atlas of Life on iNaturalist where you can vote for the winner this month by clicking the ‘fave’ star on your favorite photo-observation. Make sure you get outdoors and record the biodiversity around you, then submit your discoveries and you could be a winner!

Hi All,
Here’s a link to a short 2021 summary report for the MVFN Lanark County Biodiversity project.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-DdXcLuZxSjaWPZetrBPFO2ASr7MPAXO/view?usp=sharing

If you have any problem accessing the report, you can email me at denisag2@yahoo.com.

It has been great to see all the postings to the biodiversity record of Lanark County by members of this project in 2021. Thanks to all for your contribution!

• There was an overall observations increase of 149% from 2021 to 2020.
• The total species count increased by 41% from 2021 to 2020.

Happy nature sighting and posting in 2022!

Our database has grown to impressive numbers. Over 5000 observations of Indigofera in the Cape have been posted.
Thanks for your great effort.

We are slowly updating information as the review in Indigofera nears completion.
You can review the following if you are interested.

The following still need ID to species level:

The following observations are of undescribed species, not yet in the iNaturalist dictionary. These are accessed under the Undescribed Species Project
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&project_id=undescribed-species-and-taxa&taxon_id=83365&verifiable=any
(You can see individual species by tweaking this url - for "Indigofera rodinii"

Some of the more common underscribed species do have names - these are in the dictionary and will be updated as soon as they are published.

The following observations have been identified to species level, but need confirmation and checking:

Thursday, January 17, 2019, 8:15 AM - During my lunch break, I had a brief moment to wander up to the main retention pond behind my office in Walton County, Georgia. A trio of Hooded Mergansers were diving in the northeast corner of the pond. The Hooded Merganser, Lophodytes cucullatus, is a small duck species found in North America. Since they typically winter on ice-free ponds, lakes and rivers, they love the mild winters of Georgia and usually show up here in the fall and winter. Beginning in November, I can expect a few to take up residence on the nearby retention pond.

The “Hoodies” are always quite skittish and rapidly swim away or take to the air as soon as they notice my approach. So this morning I stealthily snuck around the pond, hiding myself below the high bank. I took up a nook in some bushes and waited until they came to me.

Just then, a public works truck passed the far end of the pond, pushing the nervous mergansers my direction! I was able to grab a few photographs as they swam by. But sure enough, they were quick to hear my shutter clicks and spot me. The female was the first to notice. With breeding season not too far away, I suppose the two males were too busy thinking of something else!

Дорогие друзья!

Ровно год назад перед началом полевого сезона 2021 года Игорь Поспелов (@taimyr) сделал серию карт для 24 регионов "Флоры России", на которых показал число наблюдений, число видов и плотность данных по административным выделам. Ту серию публикаций мы назвали "Перераспределение усилий". В каждой из них мы рассказывали о региональных диспропорциях данных в проекте "Флора России", советуя, куда следует отправиться, чтобы принести пользу в сборе данных для "Атласа флоры России". Полный перечень регионов, о которых мы рассказали вам в 2021 году можно посмотреть здесь.

Наступил 2022 год. Надеемся, что новый обзор поможет вам лучше подготовиться к полевому сезону. В этом году для каждого региона будет по пять карт: число наблюдений, число видов, плотность данных, прирост наблюдений за год, прирост видов за год. Каждый обзор будет содержать ссылку на прошлогодний. Мы будем придерживаться той же сетки административных выделов, что и ранее. Появятся и новые регионы, стремительно взлетевшие в прошедшем сезоне в нашем рейтинге.

МОСКВА

Сегодня будет наш стандартный обзор по административным выделам для города Москвы. Данные выгружены и обсчитаны Игорем Поспеловым (@taimyr), состояние на 16.01.2022. Прошлогодний обзор дан здесь.

Региональный портал "Флора Москвы" (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/flora-of-moscow ) уверенно идёт на втором месте в проекте "Флора России" по числу сделанных наблюдений и по числу наблюдателей. Здесь отметилось 3168 наблюдателей флоры. Число подписчиков регионального проекта составляет 210 человек.

Если обратиться к карте плотности данных, то видно, что насыщенность данными внутри МКАД и за его пределами всё ещё несравнима. Как и прежде, зелёный фон небольшой плотности данных нарастает в Новой Москве по мере удаления от центра. Отдельные зелёные пятна внутри Москвы показывают районы, начисто лишённые природных территорий.

ОКРУГА

Выгрузка csv-данных регионального проекта была раскидана по административным выделам второго порядка (округа или АО). Так выглядит список округов при сортировке абсолютного числа наблюдений по убыванию:

Троицкий АО (наблюдения: 20006, виды: 888)
Западный АО (наблюдения: 15086, виды: 798)
Восточный АО (наблюдения: 14941, виды: 815)
Северо-Западный АО (наблюдения: 14590, виды: 749)
Новомосковский АО (наблюдения: 13676, виды: 748)
Юго-Западный АО (наблюдения: 13201, виды: 656)
Северо-Восточный АО (наблюдения: 10833, виды: 677)
Южный АО (наблюдения: 10680, виды: 681)
Центральный АО (наблюдения: 10164, виды: 528)
Северный АО (наблюдения: 9299, виды: 661)
Юго-Восточный АО (наблюдения: 5159, виды: 716)
Зеленоградский АО (наблюдения: 2466, виды: 475)

Если нормировать число наблюдений на площадь районов и округов, то получим цифры по плотности данных. В целом, список районов по степени востребованности сведений для "Атласа флоры России" сейчас выглядит так (в скобках указана плотность наблюдений на 1 кв. км).

1. Троицкий АО (18,4)
2. Новомосковский АО (38)
3. Юго-Восточный АО (41,9)
4. Зеленоградский АО (66,5)
5. Западный АО (77,7)
6. Южный АО (81,1)
7. Северный АО (90,8)
8. Восточный АО (96,3)
9. Северо-Восточный АО (106,4)
10. Юго-Западный АО (118,3)
11. Центральный АО (153,3)
12. Северо-Западный АО (156,2)

Дорогие участники проекта "Флора Москвы"! Если в этом сезоне у вас будет выбор, в какую часть региона отправиться на фотоохоту за растениями или стоять выбор между двумя-тремя вариантами близких или дальних поездок, то просто посмотрите на эти красочные картосхемы. Вы можете здорово помочь в более равномерном покрытии территории данными о разнообразии сосудистых растений. Хорошего сезона!
