Breaking 1,000

There is only six weeks left, and in the twentieth week of this project, we added 77 observations from 15 species. That's a really good week for us, good job!

Observation of the Week goes to @elkedavis for an excellent photo of a male American Kestrel in Umatilla, Oregon. The kestrel is proving to be a rather common species this year and perhaps our only chance for a third species surpassing the 100-observation mark. If you want to see a kestrel, you can find them in just about any open field on a telephone wire. You can see the photo here:

While we are on the topic of kestrels, I've got some more good news to share. We have officially broken 1,000 observations for the project. And that observation that broke this milestone just so happens to be a kestrel, photographed by @danithedeer in Jefferson County, Oregon. You can that observation here:

The only other news I have for you is that our first Barred Owl was reported. We are 60 observations away from breaking our 2019 record, which we can easily get this week if we repeat our success.
