UPDATED OCTOBER 24 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the current species and observation list for the 2018 Macaulay Honors College Inwood Hill Park BioBltiz: 2018-Inwood-Hill-Park-BioBlitz-Data-10_24_18<\/a>. The first sheet is a summary page with our species count (currently at 361 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: https:\/\/www.inaturalist.org\/projects\/2018-macaulay-honors-college-inwood-hill-park-bioblitz<\/a> As 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 16): 2018-Inwood-Hill-Park-BioBlitz-ALL-iNaturalist-observations-Oct162018<\/a>\u00a0and a file that explains the columns: iNaturalist-Observation-File-Help-2018<\/a>. Remember that these observations are geotagged, so you can map them if you are interested. You can always download an updated list from iNaturalist by going to the project link and clicking on Observations and then “Export observations” to the right of the screen.<\/p>\n
