Diario del proyecto Reptiles and Amphibians of Santa Barbara County, CA

As of yesterday, 3000 observations of reptiles and amphibians from Santa Barbara County have been made research grade. I want to personally thank all of you who have uploaded Santa Barbara reptile and amphibian observations to INaturalist as well as those of you who ID them. Thanks to the observations you have uploaded, I (and hopefully many others) have been able to learn a lot about the reptiles and amphibians of Santa Barbara County, including when certain species are active and some of the interesting behaviors that are normally difficult to observe. Many observations of snakes in highly urbanized settings have also been posted and have taught me a lot about the habitat requirements of our county's snakes. This project has certainly been enlightening for me and I hope that all of you are gaining from participating in it. Thank you all for your participation and I cannot wait until we get to 4000!

Cheers,
Max Roberts

Today, I have founded a new INat project entitled Reptiles and Amphibians of Santa Barbara County. This project is meant to increase our knowledge about the reptiles and amphibians that inhabit the Santa Barbara Region, one of California's great biodiversity hot spots. Please join the project and submit any observations of reptiles or amphibians you have seen in Santa Barbara County, California. The inclusion of details, such as behavior, temperature, humidity, weather, # of individuals, location in habitat, and any other information relating to the observation is highly encouraged.
