metro Calgary BioDiverCity challenge is on again in two weeks!
Greetings Calgary bioblitzers!
The metro Calgary BioDiverCity bioblitz is on again, and it begins in 2 weeks. From June 9 -12, submit images and sounds of any and all organisms in Calgary, Okotoks, Airdrie, and Cochrane. This year, we're entering into a friendly competition with over a dozen other municipalities in western Canada and northwestern USA, to see which region can get the most participants, observations, and species per capita.
Observations must be made between 12:01AM thursday, June 9, and midnight sunday June 12. They need to be uploaded by the end of the day June 19. We'll release some preliminary results at that time, but we've got until July 31 to make identifications - then we'll tabulate the final results.
You don't have to join the project to have your observations tallied, but feel free to do so; I'll try to send out a few updates. The 2022 project is here:

Note that the NatureLynx app is being shut down, so all observations must be made using iNaturalist.
For people in other parts of Alberta, there is also a province-wide project to capture everything observed in Alberta over the 4 day bioblitz.
