It was a busy weekend for Manitoulin Streams with the Manitoulin Trade Fair and helping out the Manitoulin Nature Club with a BioBlitz in Misery Bay Provincial Park. It was great to see 68 people showing up for this event. We focussed on finding amphibians, snakes and reptiles however with so many volunteers that were specialists in identifying various birds, insects, invertebrates, plants etc. we were able to gather even more information for Misery Bay Provincial Park.
Thank you to Nancy and David Kains for all their hard work putting this together as well as John Diebolt, Gaynor Orford, Ryan Gardner, the leaders for each of the volunteer groups, the staff from Ontario Nature and all the volunteers that came out and made this a huge success.
Preliminary results are as follows:
Plants-91 species
Birds-57 species
Insects-6 species
Amphibians-6 species
Reptiles- 5 species
Fungus- 5 species
