I am going to assume that the prey is some kind of fish?
Incredible!

Hello! Get out and explore South Carolina's natural beauty through our state park system; from majestic mountains to the soft sandy beaches! Please recruit fellow in agrees to join this group! Friday 15th through Monday the 18th of September! This will be an annual event. Who knows you might just find a kinglet, though that would be rare I would think. 🤔
This is the first of this annual bioblitz. Have fun!
You need to join the Bioblitz project if you plan on visiting a state park during the alotted time.
What should be the species count goal? Ambitious (300) or conservative (100). Comment below

Thanks all!
Hey everyone! South Carolina Committed Naturalists Society has grown so much recently, thanks all! Last year we did the kinglet competition before this was an official group and @jtmartin54 won. This is annual competition so we are hosting it again. Will the reigning champion reclaim his title or not? Have fun! It must be an alive with photo Golden or Ruby-crowned Kinglet, observed in the state of South Carolina, Sep-Oct of this year; or even later in the very rare chance that no one finds one. Spread the word for new members who can participate. Also I haven't been as active lately cause I have been travelling, piano, etc... If anyone has any future competition or bioblitzes ideas let me know.
Thanks! Have fun and may the best Inatter win!
If you find one put a link in the comments to the observation so I don't miss it ;)

"Well hello there"* Starting tomorrow and ending next Wednesday, July 26 - August 2 is the start of the annually Butterfly Bioblitz! It must be observed in SC during these dates and be a true Butterfly! Good luck!
@pwilson96 @jtmartin54 @abiggs2 @sharleen_j @ryan84 @toxmace @matthew_campbell
The results are in, 24 observations from 15 species! @pwilson96 won by species count, congrats!
Any future competition and/or bioblitz ideas, let me know.
June 25-July 2 will be the annual ant bioblitz/competition. The goal is to strengthen our knowledge in ant species. The person with the most species within the confines of South Carolina and observed in the range of the event. Keep in mind the main goal is not winning (that was added for more fun) it’s for science. There are several species of ants unobserved in South Carolina. Most species are stuck at 1-3 obs. Please invite anyone in South Carolina to join South Carolina Commited Naturalists and participate in this project.
Hi, in order to keep track of competitions and bioblitzes I advise you to please join https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/south-carolina-committed-naturalists-society
