June Mini Challenge - Pollinator Week

Hey Macaulay Team!

June 21 - June 27 is Pollinator Week so for this month's mini challenge we'll be looking for pollinators! From now until June 27, see how many observations you can make of insects interacting with flowers. We'll accept any observations with an insect (or other animal pollinator) and a flower in them. This might end up including things that aren't actually involved in pollination, but we'll still accept them.

The NYC Pollinator Working Group is hosting a bunch of events this week and many of them feature friends of the BioBlitz and City Nature Challenge. You'll definitely be able to find pollinators if you join some of these. See their event list here.

NYC Parks is also hosting events. Check out there list here.

Results announced June 28 in the comments below and on our Slack. Remember that you can also still keep many ANY observations to be the June top observer and/or species finder! Good luck!
