The Last Day of the City Nature Challenge

On the last day of competition, Boston remains amongst the top 10 cities with 13,611 observations and identifying 1,213 species!

Congratulations to @ams6thgrade for remaining in first place with 460 observations and @markchandler for remaining in first place identifying 123 species!

The Eastern Gray squirrel remains amongst the top 5 most observed species at 140, adding great numbers to the Great Squirrel Hunt! There had been 63 total observations to the hunt yesterday, 45 of which were eastern Gray Squirrels, 14 of which were Eastern Chipmunks and 4 of which were American Red Squirrels. Shout out to @grakk for spotting an American Red in Tewksbury and @csingler for spotting an American Red in Bolton to add to the count!

There have yet to be any observations of woodchucks, southern flying squirrels and northern flying squirrels. @jonathan_glover made an awesome observation of a southern flying squirrel back on April 4th, will he be able to make another one for this years City Nature Challenge?

Congratulation to @maractwin for being on the top of the leaderboard with 138 observations and identifying 5 species for The Great Squirrel Hunt. He leads by 79 observations!

As the last day of the City Nature Challenge comes to a close, will Boston remain amongst the top 10 cities?
