Don't forget to post your sightings to the iNaturalist Cortes Island Biodiversity project. This helps track regional and global population and biodiversity trends. All you need is a digital image. You can download the free app to post from the field or just use the website to upload your sightings. What we find on Cortes is of global significance and even if you aren't sure about what is you found, scientists from all over check this site and help with identification. Here is the link:
