Tuesday, 2:30 PM

The early sunlight was a ruse - the temperature dropped throughout the day, and the wind picked up as the clouds moved in. Rain is in the offing.

Still, we have folks out collecting data! I headed to Round Pond and picked up a lot of mosses and lichens, and even a few moths. Heard my first black-throated green warbler of the season, too. But did not see or hear the sandhill cranes that are supposedly nesting there. If you head that way and can get them, awesome!

We are currently at 361 observations (2023 total was 786), 219 species (336 in 2023), and 16 observers (35 in 2023). I'm hoping the nicer weather on Sunday and Monday will boost our numbers - more people out and about and more flowers open, insects out, etc.

Keep on going this afternoon, everyone, and don't forget to add some night-time observations if you can!
