How to find out what hasn't been observed yet

At the time of writing the species count was at 1022. Hooray for crossing the 1000 species milestone! We can do even better.

Here are some links that will take you to a tool that will let you compare which species have been recorded in the month of April in the past but haven't been observed yet in the City Nature Challenge. This should help some of you target your explorations—and identifications!

Mammals
Birds
Reptiles
Amphibians
Butterflies & Moths
Dragonflies & Damselflies
Ants, Bees, Wasps, & Sawflies
Flies
Beetles
Arachnids
Crustaceans
Mollusks

Basidiomycota

Conifers
Ferns
Monocots
Poaceae

I noticed some obviously captive oddities, but hopefully this will be useful. Have fun exploring on Sunday!

Thanks to @kestrel to putting these links together for San Francisco—I just adapted from that.
