This event is part of the City Nature Challenge which is an annual global event that celebrates local wildlife and flora through citizen science.

During the 4-day challenge snap a photo or record the sound of any wild plant or animal and upload it to the iNaturalist app. Make sure to include the location details too. At the end of the Challenge, the city with the most observations wins.
