iNaturalist!
During the BioBlitz at Murphys Point, we will add the species we find to iNaturalist. iNaturalist is a database of species that you can add to by taking pictures of any wildlife that you see! This allows us to have a photographic record of what we find in the park. Before the BioBlitz you can download the iNaturalist app and during the BioBlitz take pictures of any wildlife you see!
