California Biodiversity Week

Hello,

Inaturalist users in California can participate in Biodiversity Week blitz which runs from Sep 3 to Sep 11. If you make observations at the Famosa Slough, or anywhere in the San Diego River watershed, join this project which is competing with other parks and regions to get the most observations.

We're still picking up new species at the Famosa Slough, and seeing patterns in repeat observations. Have you noticed any bumblebees at the slough? Recently 3 nests were found in the park, all Bombus vosknesenskii (yellow-faced bumble bees). There's still lots of pollinator activity, check the Menzie's Goldenbush which is coming into full bloom this month.

Happy observing and reporting!
