You may have noticed that on this blog I already maintain desultory lists of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/blog\/?page_id=454\">birds<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielharper.org\/blog\/?page_id=453\">molluscs<\/a> I&#8217;ve seen in New Bedford Harbor. The Blogger BioBlitz is an oportunity for me to examine the even more human-dominated environment surrounding our church, ten blocks from the harbor. It&#8217;s also an opportunity to live out our liberal religion by doing some low-key citizen science. We expect to find many non-native and introduced species in this urban environment &#8212; I&#8217;ll post photos and lists later this week.<\/p>\n<p><em>Want to participate in this blog swarm?
