Congratulations to iNaturalist Vermont user "rebelgirl73" for winning the January photo-observation of the month. Last month's winner, Erika Mitchell, selected 10 photo-observations as finalists for popular vote by iNaturalist Vermont users. An image of a Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes) staring at us in a snow covered field won by popular vote. Check it out at http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/1195426. Make sure you get outdoors and record the biodiversity around you and submit it to iNaturalist Vermont, a project of the Vermont Atlas of Life, and you could be a winner this month!
