BioBlitz at CFO-WFO Joint Convention
During the 2023 CFO-WFO Joint Convention, we will be holding a BioBlitz using iNaturalist to see how many total avian and non-avian organisms convention attendees can collectively document in Colorado.
What is a BioBlitz?
The goal of a BioBlitz is to document as many types of living organisms as possible within a specified time period. Our specified time period will be Tuesday, July 18 at midnight to Saturday, July 22 at 5 pm.

How do I use iNaturalist?
iNaturalist provides a great online overview on how to use their app and there are video tutorials if you prefer to learn that way. Want to learn in person? Join Hannah Floyd’s Friday morning workshop (FRWS2) on iNaturalist. Ask at the convention info table for more information.
I can win prizes!?
The top five participants who upload the most iNaturalist observation to the “CFO-WFO 2023 project” while in Colorado between Tuesday, July 18 and Saturday, July 22 at 5 pm, will receive prizes.
