Observation Phase done, onto the the upload and ID phase!
A big thank you to everyone for braving the weather and adding observations for us. These might be our lowest numbers in 5 years, but I still think we did an amazing job considering the weather we had.
Together, we found 1880 species over these 4 days. Can we get to 2k? We still have time until May 7th to upload any photos or recordings we took in the last 4 days, so if you have any photos of the species in my screenshots at the end of this post, please add them to iNat. You can see the full list at http://targets.cncphilly.org/.
Also, I would love to hear some of the exciting stuff you found over the last 4 days. And while you are helping ID some of the species others have seen, if you see any really neat species from other people, please let me know as well. I can send them to the worldwide CNC organizers who might feature them in the wrap-up infographic.
So far the most interesting thing I've seen is this American White Pelican flying over Germantown, Philly, but perhaps, the rarest thing that was seen in the area is a Red-footed Booby in Burlington County. Unfortunately, it was on private property, and the record is not on iNat yet, but maybe someone knows someone who can get that photo added to iNat. That would be an amazing CNC species since there are very few East Coast records of that species on iNat and none anywhere this far north.
And once again, thank you so much for participating and making this such a fun event!
Anyway, here are screenshots of our current targets list:

@navin_sasikumar Wouldnt be surprised if we beat last year’s species total once all is uploaded and IDed. Probably a lot more plants than usual since everyone had to get creative with the weather. I think it’s pretty impressive that we are even close given the conditions.
@bugsandbirds You're right. We could definitely beat or at least come close to last year's species total. Next week, once the results are announced, I'll do a comparison of 'Iconic taxa" between this year and last. I too am curious how the percentage of plants compares to last year.
