Day 4 - what a day!

What a sprint to the finish of the observation phase!
Today was the biggest day yet, with over 2867 observations of 725 species by 148 observers! 117 folks helped to identify those sightings. We now have 10,091 observations (and counting) of 1027 species.

Congratulations to today's prize winners: reneecnm, barrowvobio, caitlippitt! They were among the 64 participants with over 10 observations today. Thank you New Mexico Game & Fish for providing the prizes! Now that we're moving into the ID phase, we'll be drawing two iNat handles each day that we have an ID event (May 4, 5, 6, & 7). One will be drawn from the participants in the ID events (details below), and one from those who make more than 10 IDs that day.

While the observation phase has ended, observations will continue to be uploaded through the week. Right now we over 10,000 observations, breaking our 2019 record of 7,914! We're currently leading Phoenix in observations, species and observers. Watch the leaderboard tomorrow for any new developments here.

In the team competition, the UNM Department of Geography & Environmental Studies remains in 1st place with 1763+ observations, but UNM Biology has 35 more species at this point. Bernalillo County Open Space Master Naturalists are in third place. Check the standings of the team competition here.

Now we turn to identifying all those observations. Join us for an ID event!
