Count Down to Nature Photography Day Bioblitz

The NANPA Nature Photography Day Bioblitz starts on June 4. Thanks to those who have already joined the project in iNaturalist. If you are new to iNaturalist, we recommend getting a few observations under your belt before June 4 so you can hit the ground running.

If you are an experienced iNat users, please consider joining NANPA Regional projects as well (just search for NANPA under Projects) so your past and future observations will also be included in those projects.

Remember, a Bioblitz is about quantity and biodiversity, not about light, composition, and depth of field. Besides, those things are second nature to NANPA members, right?
