Just a quick update before I head into the field.  We are finding many interesting and beautiful things, enjoying each others' company, and learning so much from one another! Yesterday in southern MD while three of us were studying a box turtle, our companion found a worm snake in a rotting log and showed us how worm snakes wrap themselves around your fingers.  It felt like a hug!  And then when we looked closer, we could see the scales have a rainbow-like iridescence. We would have never been together in that spot if not for the CNC. 

 

You probably have stories like that as well—we’d love to hear about them!  You can share by making a comment in the CNC-DC Journal at this post: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2025-washington-dc-metro-area/journal/110533-monday-update

 

Today's the day to wrap up your observations.  Then we've got through the weekend to upload and identify.

 

You are invited to join us tomorrow night via Zoom to be in the company of iNat identifiers. Whether you are an expert or brand-new identifier, we've got a role for you so that you can help sort out the thousands of observations that keep rolling in!

Hello, everyone!

In addition to what Deborah shared, I wanted to highlight that we're vying for 4th/5th among the 600+ cities for the number of observers (people involved)! It's a gorgeous day today, so please encourage your friends and neighbors to make observations if you haven't yet!
