2022 Pymatuning Bio Blitz!'s Journal

Hello Everyone,

I hope that you all are enjoying your holiday weekend! I just wanted to say thank you for all of your participation in our first Bio Blitz. We had a total of 65 different observers, 322 species and 541 total observations. I am thrilled to break 300 different species here at the park. I cant even single out one particular species that was the coolest, I think everything submitted was awesome! I am hoping to do this again next year. I will try to post the results from the other parks when it is all over. Thanks again!

Another great week in the books for the Bio Blitz! We just reached 200 species and 300 observations! We are also up to 53 total participants in the Bio Blitz which is great. We need a strong push to get to 300 species this week. Keep up the great work and finish strong!

Another great week everyone! We have a 5 lined skink that was observed across from the Spillway. Lots of mushrooms and water vegetation this week. And a few red headed wood peckers sightings at the Jamestown marina. Let’s keep up the great work, and finish this event strong!

Great start to the week everyone! 64 different species logged! What a tremendous variety of species we have collected this week. The salamanders were a great find. Not to mention the various plants, birds and mammals. If anyone has any updates on where things are happening, feel free to share them. Keep up the great work!
