Day 7 Stats
We're still ahead - but not by very much! While we at one point had a 2000+ observation lead on our friends in LA, they've been chipping away at it and now they are less than 100 observations and less than 100 species behind us! The Challenge goes until noon tomorrow, so if you have the chance tomorrow morning, make some more observations! :)
You can also help by adding IDs to observations that have already been made - adding IDs will likely increase our species count: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&project_id=6345&quality_grade=needs_id&subview=grid
Regardless of who wins, the City Nature Challenge has been a great motivator to get all of us outside, observing carefully, and celebrating the nature we can find in our own local places. Great job everyone - Bay Area residents and Angelenos alike!
The stats as of 10 pm on Day 7:
SF Bay Area: 8118 observations / 1433 species / 412 people
LA County: 8063observations / 1364 species / 350 people
Here are some great nature photos from today to inspire you for our last push of observing tomorrow!

FANTASTIC stuff!!!! :)
I literally am on the edge of my seat during this competition, now. :)
It was a lot of fun and I got so lucky with it's timing. I got to go out on a day-long botany hike with a fantastic local botanist, which gave me alll kinds of new identifications this weekend. So, BIG gratitude to Peter Warner for sharing his amazing amounts of knowledge! I've learned so much (often by being wrong) on iNaturalist, so this was a fun opportunity to "go all out" and give back. Glad you enjoyed the show, Sam! :D Okay, time to download today's photos... Cheers!
