A backyard big year project - for all wild taxa
Since joining iNaturalist in 2016, I've tried to document of all the wild organisms that I could find on our little quarter-acre lot. So far I've found 492 taxa with at least one iNaturalist observation.
This year I thought I'd try a big year. But instead of doing like the birders do, traveling all over the continent or world looking for birds, I will stay here - on our little lot and try to find as many wild living things as I can.
So that's what I plan to do tomorrow morning - January 1, 2023.

It's amazing the diversity that can be found in a small suburban lot! I tried this during 2020, and it led to a whole new appreciation of the tiny overlooked organisms, like leaf miners, tiny flies and the hundreds of moths that only come out after dark
Good luck Steven! Sounds like a great project.
