Is there a chorus of song outside your window now that spring has arrived? If yes, we have an activity for you!

Looking for a way to participate in the upcoming City Nature Challenge (April 30 – May 3)?

Perhaps Maritime birders, naturalists, and new iNatters can help compile/share bird songs from our communities – no need to go outdoors – just open a window!

The free iNaturalist app includes an 'add an observation’ feature that offers the option to record a sound in addition to the standard take a photo.

Currently 2,105 people have shared photos of 386 species from Nova Scotia in iNaturalist but only 90 have shared sound recordings of 109 species. (https://tinyurl.com/u8pyyjma)

It will be interesting to see how these stats and those from NB and PEI have changed by the end of the 4-day challenge.

Practice using the app 'record sound' feature today.
