What is a bioblitz?:

A bioblitz is an exciting day for a large group of volunteers to spend in a designated area and identify each and every critter and plant they can. We focus this bioblitz on a Pinyon Jay hotspot, so we can get a snapshot of all the other animals and plants that live in their ecosystem. It’s not just a fun way to spend a day, it’s actually a monitoring tool that allows us to see what changes over time when it gets repeated.

Stay tuned for bioblitz details! In the meantime…

Get involved with Pinyon Jay Community Science today:

1.) Pinyon Data Collector:

Collect data on Pinyon Jays, including the absence of flocks, in pinyon-juniper woodlands throughout the state.

2.) Pinyon Pine Cone Productivity Assessment:

Pinyon pine nuts are the primary food resource of Pinyon Jays, and pinyon pine productivity varies from year to year, and potentially in response to other factors. Tracking the productivity of pinyon pines will help determine how pinyon pine nut production relates to Pinyon Jay population declines.
