Godwin Ranch abuzz with visitors and newcomers this spring.

On fours legs: Nature Trackers' cameras spotted a nursing coyote whose pups we hope are growing up on the preserve. A very round fox makes us wish there is also a group of blue-eyed kits sniffing about the tract, but it may have just been a well-fed individual.
No doubt the preserve's resident ringtails, possums, striped skunks, cottontails, deer and other raccoons are also having broods of their own.

On two legs: A resplendent roadrunner graced the cameras with a strut so ga...

My first Desert Tortoise sighting.

This is the story of my very first desert tortoise sighting.

It was April of 2013, I had decided on a couple days car-camping and hiking trip to Joshua Tree National Park. I had never hiked there before but had driven through and was impressed by the vast areas of desert wilderness. Some external force or higher being seemed to be calling for me to explore...

I ended up going last minute, solo, no recreation.gov reservation was required for a campsite back then, it was fi...

This amazing Americorps team spent four hours clearing the invasive plants from our native plant beds at the Grace Episcopal Gallery on April 13, 2024! Special thanks to Linda Skeff for taking the lead on this endeavor while sharing your knowledge and plant expertise with the group. We rely upon volunteers to maintain and care for the Museum grounds and we can’t thank you all enough for your hard work.

San Diego's FLYING up the CNC charts: Such a great place to BEE! (PART 2 of 2)

While we can all easily use iNaturalist and find many other ways to be biodiversity champions every day of the year, in Part 2 of this post, we share some more ways to learn about the insect-plant relationships that are fundamental to much of the land-based biodiversity in our region and beyond.

World Bee Day is coming up on May 20, along with two free bee learning opportunities.

Both Dr. James Hung and PhD candidate Jess Mullins have been working hard behind the scenes,...

How to support the Hatton Biodiversity Project

If you want to support the nature of Hatton and update national databases with the data, please upload your picture and suggested species here: https://uk.inaturalist.org/observations/upload.

If you select the area on the map that will be enough but by associating it with the Hatton Biodiversity project you will also be adding to the project's collection for future use.

Reminder to upload any remaining pics and help with IDs

Happy Saturday everyone,

It's been great to see so many more observations coming in from the observation period of 4/26-29 - we are up to a whopping 937 species observed!! As a reminder, the official count will be taken at 9AM eastern time on Monday, 5/6 - so if you have more pictures to upload, make sure to do it before then.

Thanks to everyone who has helped with identification - as of noon today, 57.83% of our 3,201 observatio...

Let's share the acknowledgement of the challenges pollinators face

Relying on distinct floral resources, habitats, and nesting sites for survival, many pollinators are ecological niche specialists. The preservation and restoration of diverse habitats, such as urban green spaces, forests, wetlands, meadows, and grasslands is necessary for the conservation of pollinators. Protecting pollinator habitat can ensure entire ecosystems, conserve native fauna and fl...

Primula Vulgaris Description

Primula Vulgaris is an iconic plant for many as its beauty is often quite captivating. It is often grown in cultivation due to the ease of management.

The associated habitats of the plant are areas which are moist but drained. Riparian zones are usually hotspots and they can also be found in upland areas frequently.

The first signs of Primula Vulgaris are their basal leaves. In fact, the plant only grows basal leaves- no stem leaves. Buds often emerge quickly after the le...

San Diego's FLYING up the CNC charts: Such a great place to BEE! (PART 1 of 2)

As our project numbers continue to climb, a quick look at the stats on our project page reminds us shows that a lot of the biodiversity we're documenting is in the 'plants,' followed by the 'insects' and then the 'birds' groups.

One of the many great things about citizen science is that we don't need to wait until our observations reach researchers to learn from them. The relationship between pollinators, plants, and the resulting amount of biodiversity we have, becomes evident ...

2024 Data Review Through April

[in English]
Through the first four months of 2024 there have been 2344 observations of 161 species of lizards in the Amazon region. For comparison, through the same period in 2023 (accounting for ‘leap day’) there were 1629 observations of 134 species. Thus, in 2024 there have been 144% of the observations from previous years with 120% of the number of species.

It’s not just observations and species that are higher, but identifiers (290 vs. 277) and observers (889 vs. 640) ...

Day Eight: Still a Lot of Identifications to Be Done

We've pretty much plateaued at the number of observations (5,485) and species (1,428), both of which are amazing! I've spent the day doing identifications. We're at 43.3% research grade, up from 37.2% yesterday. I'd like to hit at least 50% by Sunday night. There are still of "Unknowns" to be sorted out, so any help you can give is still welcome.

Milestone 2

On May 3rd, 2024, I had reached 500 observations, the observation that brought me to this number was a house sparrow. Buying a camera had certainly given me many more opportunities to make observations, including several species I had not been able to photograph before.

Puerto Rico, land of enchantment and surprises

My partner and I went to Puerto Rico for 9 days. I am not big on just laying out in the sun so I took some photos of the local biodiversity. It was the greatest orgy of nature exploration I've ever had. It's amazing to be in a place where you can walk in the sea with a phone or camera because the waves are generally so small, and where you can hike up thousands of vertical feet across a whole series of ecological communities, and where the mushrooms, orchids, warblers and other creatures...

NO LOCALITY ACCURACY (=RESOLUTION/ERROR)

Please fix your locality resolution (or locality accuracy or locality error). Too large an accuracy, or missing accuracy, means that the data are not incorporated into checklists for the smaller nature reserves and places, and cannot be used for conservation planning and red listing purposes.

Ideally we like it to be 2-5m accuracy, but often one is uncertain, or does not know quite where one was, in which case it might be 100s of metres. but please if you genuinely dont know exac...

Name Changes and Goals

I began this iNaturalist account with the intention of documenting local tree species. I named it for the tree service that I work for, and I intended it partly as a resource to share with interested clients who wanted to know more about the trees that grow in our area. However, this account very quickly expanded beyond that narrow focus as I began using it to document all kinds of plant life. Soon I was averaging observations of multiple new species each day, including several "county r...
