Heading Into Evening

We're coming up on Hour Six of the BioBlitz. The first teams have come back in, and scientists are busy identifying and recording their finds. The second group of teams has headed out and will be back around 8 p.m., when the third wave will gear up to look for owls and bats in the park's darkness.

Unseasonably cool and damp weather has kept many species, especially insects, out of sight today, so researchers are hoping for better luck tomorrow.

==========

Species Count: 116
