If you regularly photos birds, animals, bugs, fungi and leaves while on vacation, or even your backyard, scientists as you think you may be more citizens. And now you can your natural love for the environment for a good cause by uploading your images to a new site called SciSpy. A new free application you can download from the iTunes store or facilitated by the website SciSpy. I have uploaded already a series of pictures me from the last vacation. (By the way, I was surprised how many pictures of animals and plants I had taken.)
The app allows users to select a "mission"-for example, "at the bird feeder," "in your backyard error" or "urban wildlife"-a photo with an iPhone and then upload the image to an online database. The files are date stamp, geo-tagged by and topical experts.
If you are a fan of science channel, you will be happy to know that the missions often with TV series including tonight's premiere Monster bug wars around 9 am (ET / PT) corresponds to. Probably you have photos of bugs, you will be motivated to put it.
I like the idea of collecting images of nature, who walk in the holiday or just the dog while in contact could come. I saw an OWL sitting on a branch of an early morning at the go my dog through the city. Have raised the landscape, this was the first time I was so close to an OWL in nature.
My only criticism of this new site is that they occur that no category for the flora or fauna, can, in the vicinity of the ocean. The next is "Catch of the day." But if you are you a photo of a blue crab (like me), put it under "General wildlife." Hopefully, the producers of the site will be expanding the missions.
Other than that I think that the SciSpy website is a great way to children around deliberately involved nature and the world around them. Check it out and report to report on, what you think.
