Spring 2018 Virtual BioBlitz! End!

Hi everyone,
What an amazing month this has been! Here are our final counts for the month:

Observations - 5206
Species ------- 1253

Participants --- 81

Counties ------- 62

By every major account we have broken Spring BioBlitz! records! I want to thank every one of our many participants this year for making this year a smashing success. In particular we have the winners of our top participant categories:
Most research grade observations: @lmm3629
Most species observed: @ehjalmarson
Most identifications: @zdufran
Those three are eligible to choose from:
--Free BioBlitz! Oklahoma event registration (includes t-shirt)
--BioBlitz! kit (includes student quality insect net and aquatic net, dip net, live mammal trap, water bottle, sample vials, and some other misc fun stuff all in a bucket) (quantity limited)
--Copy of an Oklahoma field guide or book (availability limited!)
