Welcome to Project Noah,StevenBercik
We hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore:
We invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah.
There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms.
There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings.
Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions
Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
You're welcome and you're doing a great job. That's the best thing about Project Noah ... we learn things all the time and we help each other out when we can. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your spottings!
Hi, StevenBercik. Really great that you included photos of the flowers, leaves, trunk and general shape of the tree ... well done. One thing, with those pointy petals and big red berries, I think this is a Kousa dogwood, Cornus kousa. And welcome!
