Birders,
Once again the "America's Birdiest County" effort coincides with the "City
Nature Challenge" which is co-sponsored by the Natural History Museum of
Los Angeles County. The City Nature Challenge uses iNaturalist as a
platform for uploading photos that document sightings of all wildlife. So
please consider uploading your bird photos taken 25-27 April into
iNaturalist as well as eBird.
The City Nature Challenge is a four-day event, so your sightings on Monday
28 April will also be counted (but will NOT count for the America's
Birdiest County" effort). And, of course, feel free to also upload photos
of any and all non-avian wildlife and native plants for the City Nature
Challenge.
