Re: [cobirds] City Nature Challenge Colorado!

Matt, you might want to let people know when the Challenge is over. Today right? And when images/sound files need to be uploaded in order to be included.  Thanks.

Hey all,

I just wanted to let you know about the City Nature Challenge, which is currently taking place on iNaturalist.  Over 300 Cities across the world are competing throughout this weekend to see who can submit the most observations of nature in their areas.  There are 3 different challenges taking place here in our state, one in Northern Colorado, one in the Denver-Boulder area, and one down south in Colorado Springs.

Full disclosure: I am coordinating the Northern Colorado effort.

Here's links to each iNaturalist project page where you can follow the action to see who is in the lead and what kinds of cool things are being seen and submitted!

Northern Colorado: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-northern-colorado

Denver-Boulder: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-denver-boulder-metro

Colorado Springs: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2020-colorado-springs

You can learn more about the City Nature Challenge at their website here: https://citynaturechallenge.org/

I'd encourage those of you out birding to take lots of pictures of not just birds, but the plants, the bugs, the mammals, the bacteria... well everything!  And submit each to iNaturalist.  You can even submit sound recordings.  So do your part to help your locale compete against the likes of Capetown South Africa, and Tokyo, Japan!  Of course, if you do, do so in accordance with all of your local regulations and suggestions regarding the current global pandemic.

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to learn more about how to use iNaturalist!

Thanks!
