Get Ready for Day 4!

Wow!!!! Today (Sunday April 28) we surpassed the number of people who participated in the Pittsburgh region last year. Thanks so much to everyone who has shared observations this weekend! And an equally giant thanks to those of you taking time out to identify - getting our observations to research-grade is a major component of the City Nature Challenge.

If you're looking for some good reasons to keep taking photos on the LAST day for observations in the City Nature Challenge (Monday April 29), here are a few:
*It's going to be a beautiful day to take a break outside (cloudy, low 50s to low 60s, no storms til the evening).
*We hit 3000 observations on Day 3, but we need to reach about 4300 to beat our numbers from last year
*We are neck and neck with the Cleveland-Akron project - they're only a few hundred observations ahead of us (in case you're feeling competitive)

Also, just a reminder for you expert birders out there: your e-bird checklists count for the City Nature Challenge, even if you don't have a photo or sound file.
