That was a pretty windy four days. Bird migration was a much bigger presence in this years local event - I think we caught the beginning of the waterfowl movement together with the earliest of the perching birds. Active insects were much harder to find. The day after the observation period ended we found a tiger beetle emergence event which would have been great to see in the observations - well we will know what to look for next year.

Over 1.6 million observations worldwide collected in this years event and during the CNC, iNaturalist hit 10 million observations in Canada!

Two more days to upload observations and contribute identifications for them to be included in the official counts. I will post the results in the journal once I have them.

Thanks to you all!
