UPDATED NOVEMBER 22 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the current species and observation list for the 2017 Macaulay Honors College Alley Pond Park BioBlitz: 2017-Alley-Pond-BioBlitz-Data-November2017<\/a>. The first sheet is a summary page with our species count (currently at 500 species!!) which is likely to increase as some of the insect teams send back their final reports. You will find a unique species list, a list of all observations (includes multiple observations of the same species), and then individual observation lists for each BioBlitz team.<\/p>\n

You can check out the iNaturalist observations here:\u00a0https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/2017-macaulay-honors-college-alley-pond-park-bioblitz<\/a>\u00a0As the community IDs more of these, it is possible we will get additional species from this list. Research Grade iNaturalist observations have been added to the Excel file above.<\/p>\n

Here is an Excel file of the project observations from iNaturalist (as downloaded on October 13): 2017-MHC-APP-BioBlitz-iNaturalist-Observations-10_13_17<\/a> and a file that explains the columns: iNaturalist-Observation-File-Help-2017<\/a>. These observations can be mapped using this kml file: https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/observations\/project\/2017-macaulay-honors-college-alley-pond-park-bioblitz.kml<\/a> You can always download an updated list from iNaturalist by going to the project link and clicking on “Export observations” to the right of the map.<\/p>\n

There has been no previous BioBlitz at Alley Pond Park and the iNaturalist records from before the BioBlitz are not extensive. Here is the observation list for all of Queens County from iNaturalist:\u00a0Queens Co iNat observed species<\/a><\/p>\n
