April — iNaturalist Bioblitz, Guadalupe River Trail
A Bioblitz is a defined period of time in which observers make as many good observations of their local flora and fauna as as possible in a defined place. Observations are then published to the international iNaturalist website and contribute to a world-wide database. CCCA designed and led this Bioblitz along the Guadalupe River Trail as part of the 2019 iNaturalist City Nature Challenge Bioblitz.
Among the observations made were: Gilled mushrooms, Gouty Stem Gall Wasp, Ground cherry, Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella), Marsh fern, and Texas Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila phacelioides).
