Laguna de Santa Rosa Community Bioblitz's Journal

Hi everyone,

Thank you for contributing so many great observations to the Laguna de Santa Rosa Community Bioblitz! There were over 700 observations made so far between September 5 and September 16 in the Laguna watershed, and I bet there are some still to be uploaded.

If you registered via Eventbrite for the Bioblitz, you will receive an email with the data and results coming your way soon. In the meantime, you can still contribute identifications to the Bioblitz to get more of our data up to "Research Grade"!

Here's a great reference for "identification etiquette" from iNaturalist: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/identification-etiquette-on-inaturalist-wiki/1503

I'm glad that we had at least a couple clear days to get out and make observations. Thank you all again for your participation and I'll be in touch!

Best,

Allison
