Diario del proyecto City Nature Challenge 2024: metro Edmonton area

Hello everybody!

The final upload period is over, and the results are in! This year, we reached a total of 2844 observations of 540 species, by 102 observers, and identified by 231 different people. That's more than double last year's number of observations (1377 observations of 409 species), which is awesome to see! It's been great looking through all the observations and seeing such a wild range of species.

Our top observer was @cindyleedanylukboisvert (846 observations of 177 species) followed by @caterpillerlover (258 observations of 163 species) and @whitemudwayne (230 observations of 133 species.) Great work and congrats!

If you couldn't get enough of bioblitzing, the next big one coming up is the metro Edmonton Biodiversity Challenge 2024 (https://inaturalist.ca/projects/metro-edmonton-biodiversity-challenge-2024) which runs June 13-16. It's amazing what difference another month makes, so we can expect a lot more different species of plants and insects etc. by then!

Thanks for all your hard work making this year's City Nature Challenge so successful!

Cheers,
Dan
