A living almanac

Don't Miss It

Some things here are gone almost as soon as they arrive — a bloom, a fungus, a single generation of insect on the wing for a couple of weeks. This page tracks those fleeting windows — what's open now, or opening soon — and where to go find them before they close.

Where to find it

Every dot is a real sighting logged here by a resident or visitor — a good place to start looking.

Some sensitive species have their exact locations hidden by iNaturalist and aren't shown. Dots are colored by the species' group; the dashed line is the town boundary.

Catch it? Log it.

A quick photo on iNaturalist is what lets us know these fleeting windows are still happening — and helps the next person find them too. You don't need to know what you saw; the community helps with the rest.
