Day Ten: The Fun Is Over for Another Year

Well, there's less than twelve hours left in this year's City Nature Challenge. I want to thank EVERYONE who contributed anything to the cause! We had another record-breaking year. Our stats over the years have been:

2021 2022 2023 2024 2024 Leader
Observations 1,178 2,808 3,246 5,422 Laura Sare (487)
Species 518 816 1,147 1,438 Dwight Bohlmeyer (286)
Observers 96 139 134 226

Identifications 383 Michelle Abney (1,383)

As of this evening, we have 67.2% research grade. Two-thirds is a good percentage for iNat, particularly in the first week.

The most-observed species was Salt Marsh Moth, with 59 observations, nearly all caterpillars. I doubt any of us missed seeing this one, even if we didn't "observe" it. Numbers for large groups are:

Insects 562 (39.6%)
Plants 536 (37.7%)
Birds 134 (9.4%)
Fungi & Lichens 69 (4.9%)

I'm not going to be posting daily, but I will be posting for at least a week or two, as results come in from CNC Central and the Texas cities. Subscribe to the project to get notification of updates.;

See you next year!
