Details | June 3, 10:30am, Greenhorn Summit, Kern Co.
We’ll explore the burn area around Alta Sierra and Shirley Meadows in Kern County, home to rare plants such as the endemic Shirley Meadows star tulip, Calochortus westonii. We’ll collect data for the CA Fire Followers project in iNaturalist and document post-fire blooms in the area. We may walk up to 4 miles on unstable terrain and will possibly drive on Forest Service roads to visit rare plant populati...

Traffic: 20 cars, 2 trucks, 0 motorcycles, 5 bikes, 10 pedestrians, 13 parked cars (0 cars in the farthest parking lot).
My observations of the day -
Short version
Am I missing something, or does Rubus ursinus macropetalus not occur wild in central or southern California?
We may need to reverse a bunch of IDs, so as to avoid "the algorithm" reinforcing a fallacy - as it is wont to do sometimes.
Longer version
I've noticed bunch of "Rubus ursinus macropetalus" IDs popping up in our neck of the woods on the Central Coast of California. I wondered what that taxon might be and how I might identify one. It t...
In 2020 I found an Andrena aggregation on mixed use land associated with the housing development I live in. We get to recreate there and the field is cropped annually for hay. For the first two years I have been observing the bees I thought they were some sort of bumble bee. During their spring swarm my wife and I saw what we take as spawning behavior. Small groups of bees would wad up in a little ball and wrestle around. Within 15 to 30 seconds they would break it up and go their separa...

In just one day, our team collected 161 observations including 44 different species confirmed. We had 18 people recording observations and 23 naturalists identifying the species we observed. The most common species observed were Cinnamon ferns followed by Virginia Creeper, American Sweetgum and Common Mugwort. The top observer was Gabriella who recorded 38 observations. Brianna, Melanie, Katherine, Victoria, Aniyla, Amaya each recorded between 10-20 observations.
It was a great day ...
Es wurden total zehn Arten eindeutig bestimmt. Einzig die Arten der Gattung Rosa und Lavandula konnten nicht mit Sicherheit bestimmt werden.
Total wurden sieben Familien gefunden. Diese sind: Hülsenfrüchtler, Weinrebengewächse, Lippenblütler, Rosengewächse, Kreuzblütler, Hartriegelgewächse und Korbblütler.
Von den zwölf Beobachtungen sind alle kultivierter Art.
On the first day of this project, PCHS APES students collected 42 observations of 24 species. 5 observations are already "Research Grade" quality, which means they've been verified by experts! Of those 24 species, we documented 18 plants, 2 insects, 1 fish, 1 bird, 1 insect, and 1 mammal (Homo sapiens!).
This was a fun "last day of school" activity, and I look forward to next year's students building on the project.
Hallo zusammen!
Wow, was für ein cooler Event in Vaduz! Danke das ihr bereits mitmacht! Wir werden dieses Projekt in den Sozialen Medien noch bewerben und bis zum 5. Juni warten, ob es noch mehr Observationen gegeben hat! Danach winken die Preise für den Hoi Laden!
Dafür müssten wir euch noch identifizieren, bitte schickt uns ein Email an marsha@integrity.earth mit eurer User ID von iNaturalist und einer Telefonnu...
Without realizing it, I have not logged into this site for two years! There are two main reasons for the long absence - firstly, my computer (a very old one) has suffered performance issues and tended to crash every time I try to load iNaturalist pages. Secondly, I was swamped by both personal and work-related issues throughout the last two years (the COVID-19 pandemic did not give me any forced rest but forced me to work harder) and have been too exhausted to do much else.
Now t...
Dear Emmanuel College Naturalists,
I am so excited to see the biodiversity you discover and share this summer! Already we have Finches from the Galápagos (going right into SP2023 1106 slides), roses in Italy, and flora and fauna stretching across the USA from Washington State to Florida! The most observed species is still the unofficial Emmanuel College Mascot (Canada Goose), and Dr. Atkinson and Dr. Otero still have the most observations and unique species observed, respectivel...
Lots of activity at the park.
Still failed to ID the two conifers at the entrance- the one I know, White Pine, has at least two lichen and some mass on it, not sure if dried sap or a growth, or it's a weird fungi.
After I was done checking out the Pine I saw a red mass and thought it was meat and it turns out to be the severed head of a Bullhead fish, just laying there in the mulch, some organs still attached, intestines leaving its body.
Multiple geese were hanging out by th...

Looked out my back window to see a tan bird sitting on the telephone pole cable and it appears to be puffing up its neck, I assumed it was a Mourning Dove cooing.
Saw a black bird- possibly a Common Grackle, land a couple of feet away from the Dove on the pole itself.
Soon both flew away.
Saw a Red-Winged Black bird fly by a minute or so after the other two left.
Heard a rooster call out in the morning- first time hearing that in a long time.
Saw a fat ass robin hoppi...
Bei dem ausgesuchten Garten handelt es sich um den Garten in meinem Elternhaus. Insgesamt wurden 51 Arten gefunden, aus 26 unterschiedlichen Familien. Die Familie, die am häufigsten vertreten ist, ist die Familie der Lippenblütler (Lamiaceae) mit insgesamt 8 Vertretern. Dicht daran ist die Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae) mit 6 Vertretern sowie die Familie der Rosengewächse (Rosaceae) mit 5 Vertretern.
Da es sich um einen äusserst gepflegten Garten handelt, sind die meisten ...
Všimli jsme si, že jste pozorovali a nafotili kosatec sibiřský v České republice nebo hojně nahráváte fotky rostlin. Rádi bychom Vás oslovili ohledně mapování sibiřských kosatců. Tyto kosatce jsou u nás dva:
Iris sanguinea (nemá zatím české jméno) je velmi podobný druh, který byl i botanickou veřejností zcela přehlížen. Pochází z východní Asie a u nás je to běžně pěstovaná okra...
Мы рады сообщить, что Объединенная дирекция Мордовского государственного природного заповедника имени П.Г. Смидовича и национального парка «Смольный» (ФГБУ «Заповедная Мордовия») организует конкурс по фотофиксации растений на платформе iNaturalist «Разнообразие растений Среднего Поволжья-2022».

Wieso kommen die spontanen Arten an diesem Standort vor?
Der Garten liegt an einem sonnigen Standort, auf einer Seite hat es aber eine hohe Mauer, welche Schatten wirft und wo den ganzen Tag kein Sonnenlicht hinkommt. Aus diesem Grund können s...
Es wurden 13 verschiedene Familien dokumentiert:
Insgesamt wurden 22 Arten beobachtet, davon konnten 2, bis zum Zeitpunkt dieser Auswertung, nicht bestimmt werden.
Es wurden nicht alle Pflanzen im definierten Bereich des Gartens aufgenommen, da ein Grossteil eine Wiese ist, die erst grade frisch gemäht wurde, was eine Bestimmung und Aufnahme sehr erschwert.
Nach Erstellung des Projekts, sind darin nur 14 Beobachtungen zu sehen, gemacht habe ich allerdings 22. Auch mit der Änderung des Gebiets, welches berücksichtigt werden soll, hat sich das Problem nicht behoben. Ich versuche es weiter, habe allerdings wenig Hoffnung.
@cata-zhaw hast du eine Idee?
Konnte das Problem nun lösen. Der Grund war das Häckchen bei "Hobbyqualität".
Дорогие друзья!
Сегодня 23 мая 2022 г. около 11:00 MSK на iNaturalist было загружено 100 000 000-е наблюдение. Традиционно в эту цифру включены только так называемые "проверяемые" наблюдения - те, что получили исследовательский статус, и те, что еще не определены. Сюда не входят наблюдения из серой зоны "обыкновенных наблюдений" - культурные растения, домашние животные, наблюдения с техническим браком и проч.
Каждое 48-е наблюдение на iNaturalist - это наблюдение по флоре...

If you have not heard, there is a report going around that the Navy is considering using Greenbury Point to expand the golf course. This would destroy the diverse habitats of the many plants and animals living there, . and further jeopardize the health of the Chesapeake Bay. Our community would lose an invaluable resource for recreation and nature. I encourage you to join the Save Greenbury Point group on Facebook for updated information and sign the petition.
