City Nature Challenge organizers CalAcademy and Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have made a journal post with more detailed results:
https://www.inaturalist.org/posts/16268-city-nature-challenge-2018-results
San Diego County added the most new users over the course of the City Nature Challenge to iNaturalist, with 733 - way to go SD!
San Diego County placed in the top three for all categories: observations, species, and people!
Not bad for our first year :)
If you made one observation, one ID, or 800 you helped us win and for that we are incredibly thankful.
It has been wonderful getting to see our community come together and rally around nature. Working with you all has convinced me San Diego is composed of an incredible nature-loving community.
I would love to hear about your experience taking part in the Challenge. Please feel free to message me with your comments. You can add to the larger City Nature Challenge evaluation by taking the online survey, created by NHMLA and CalAcademy, https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-hR4_3Xsd7fkC8FSkVzecKlT--GPuOYydmw7E4XnReQh5yA/viewform
Hopefully you all had as much fun taking part as I have getting to hear all the amazing feedback from you.
Here's to sweeping the Challenge next year!

Thank you for the amazing effort leading up to, and during the City Nature Challenge 2018!
Photos (and sound recordings) taken over the weekend can still be added through Friday, May 4 at 9 AM PST. And you can still help San Diego win by adding identifications.
Final counts will be announced during the early afternoon of Friday, May 4 via The Nat’s social media accounts,

Thanks to your work, San Diego County has consistently been in the top three for all categories: observations, species, and people!
You can access the leaderboard for current counts, http://citynaturechallenge.org/leaderboard/
CalAcademy and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have created a survey to gather feedback from those who took part in the challenge. It's a great opportunity to share your feedback and help us make improvements for next year.

Happy IDing,

Hi all,
I just posted a few lists of species that have been observed in San Diego County, but have yet to be observed as a part of the City Nature Challenge.
You all are so amazing, I wholeheartedly believe we can still win this thing, especially if we are strategic.
The previously posted species lists are an attempt to help maximize efforts.
The lists posted were created by comparing what has currently been observed for the City Nature Challenge 2018: San Diego County (as of 11am 4/29), to County observations made in April and May from 2008 to 2017.
If you find a species on the posted lists that you want to find, head to the iNaturalist "Observations" page. Here you can search by species name and the location (San Diego County, CA, USA). Then select the map view to see where the species was observed in the past to get an idea of where they might be found today and tomorrow.
Happy observing!
Lauren
