2017 Naturalist Goals
I was inspired by a journal posted by @marknenadov earlier this week. I've set goals for my birding but I've never set any broader goals as a naturalist. Lots of them are still bird related.
- Create a full slate of birding field trips for the Central Valley Bird Club.
- Complete an eBird checklist per day.
- Complete the eBirder of the Month challenges.
- Get my bird lists to 100 in every California county.
- Get all my California county checklists into eBird as historical lists.
- Get my state bird life list over 475 species.
- Visit my last two California counties.
- Enter 365 observations on iNaturalist in the year.
- See a black bear and enter it in iNaturalist.
- Enter 10 new species of mammals for me into iNaturalist.
- Organize a mini iNaturalist BioBlitz for the Koobs Nature Center project site.
- Get a fishing license and try microfishing.
I think those are solid goals for now. I have been keeping up with the daily eBird checklists so far for the year but I have fallen behind on iNaturalist observations. I imagine that will be more of a situation where I don't do it all the time but then I catch up by doing 20 in a day. To anyone reading this what are some of your goals for 2017?
