This looks very appealing.
1) It's a Nature Conservancy site.
2) There are few iNaturalist observations. That's what I would be doing.

There's a visitors center and nature center (possibly the same). I'll check in there to see what they know that would be interesting for a quick bioblitz. I could easily triple, at least, their observations to date in an hour, the way I document things.

In Springfield, MA until Monday for the Northeast Natural History Conference (NENHC). Anyone else?

Any locals wanna recommend a good greenspace to visit? (Edit) It looks like tomorrow, Friday is the only non-rainy day during my stay. I'm on the wait list for a field trip to Vermont in the afternoon, but I'll get out one way or another.

Check out this rare orange colour morph of a North Island kākā, reported on #iNaturalistNZ from Aotea Great Barrier Island by a new iNat user, karlliec.

Lloyd Esler commented that "Apparently a colour morph known from the old times. There is one in Southland Museum. The man who shot it was fined two pounds I think as the red morph was protected. There is a book called The Red Kaka."

iNaturalistHelp find these missing Canadian speciesMore than 40,000 species have been recorded on iNaturalist in Canada, yet based on the Wild Species Report, there are an estimated 80,000 species in the country. Canada is one of the countries best represented on iNaturalist, but there are still many geographic areas without iNaturalist activity, and many species still missing or poorly represented. We’ve partnered with the Canadian Wildlife Federation to try and fill these gaps. Can you help in a national scavenger hunt? Here are maps showing the locations of Canada museum specimens of species still missing from Canada on iNat. These locations are based on Global Biodiversity Information Facility localities, so they may contain some errors - like the Pacific Barracuda in Manitoba.... But errors aside, we hope this will be a good starting point for looking at gaps from Canada. Clicking on the points will bring up a link to observations of other species that have been recorded in the vicinity of where the museum specimen was as well ...

Check out Aotearoa's five-finger looper moth, Xyridacma alectoraria. It's a big, elegant, yellow moth with a fringe of *hot pink*.

This one came into my home moth light in January, in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, NZ, and I uploaded it to #iNaturalist today.

My best guess for why it looks like this is that the older leaves of its host plant, five-finger, often turn yellow before they fall. I'm not sure why the hot pink works (but it does).

A2. I often notice nature when I'm out for a ride sometimes like the a young hawk hanging out really close to the trail, or the watersnake warming themselves on the sunlit trailbed, or the chipmunk that bounced off my foot while riding last summer, or all the plants flowering in their cycles throughout the year.

To record my observations I use the #iNaturalist app or sometimes just take photos.

Nikon or Canon. Both have excellent full-frame mirrorless wide-aperture bodies and lenses.

I use Nikon because that was the first I bought when I moved to NYC in 1979. My main is the Z6II. I also still use my Z5. I still have every camera body and lens I ever bought. But I only use those two bodies. Wide range of brand and 3rd-party lenses.

My nature photos go up on iNaturalist

Nice photographs of Paridotea ungulata (Idoteidae) on iNaturalist's blog right now. Lime green isopods that live on kelp. #isopods #tasmania #ocean #marine #seaweed #nature #australia #inaturalist #photography #nature inaturalist.org/blog/108332-sp

iNaturalistSponsored by Lime Jell-O? - Observation of the Week, 3/25/25Our Observation of the Week is this Paridotea ungulata isopod, seen in Australia by @moth_nut! Currently living in Tasmania and working with the Australian National University and researching habitat suitability, threats, and effective management strategies for some of Australia’s most endangered birds, Tom Hunt’s childhood was spent in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia.  Surrounded by bushland and birds, I have been a keen nature lover and photographer for as long as I can remember. That passion eventually shaped my career, taking me across Australia as an ecologist working on conservation projects. My work is driven by a desire to help, in some small way, to reverse Australia’s alarming extinction rates and protect the wildlife that makes this country so special. As such, I have a particular interest in threatened species monitoring and management. After studying at The University of Adelaide, I spent over a decade working on conservation and restoration projects in South Aust...
