4 days, Stonewall East 14PA25 and a closer look at iNaturalist Canada
Stonewall East 14PA25 is located in the RM of Rockwood. The town of Stonewall lies on its western boundary and the town of Stony Mountain is on its southeast. The square is underlain by the Gunton escarpment raising it above the surrounding areas. Quarries both active and depleted dominate the north central section. Agriculture dominates the land use elsewhere in this square.
At the time of posting, 113 observations had been uploaded by 17 observers led by @glendao. The survey for the Breeding Bird Atlas of Manitoba confirmed 30 bird species nesting here, with another 59 species probable or possible. Here's the full list.

If your favorite organization is not listed, it is possible that they do not know about iNaturalist Canada or do not yet understand how iNaturalist Canada might support their institutional objectives. Feel free to let the institutions that you support know how you feel about iNaturalist.ca.
Happy observing!

I really enjoy seeing my posts on iNaturalist & having them identified by the people involved with iNaturalist. Some of my pictures are certainly not great but rather than waiting for better light, better camera, etc I'm just posting! GlendaO
