Halfway and we're making great progress!

Hello AppState BioBlitzers!

Awesome job yesterday! It was gorgeous out on the Greenway, where I went to do some observing and met quite a few fellow BioBlitzers. Some students had recruited their families to help them, others were mentioning they had a friendly family competition going on with a sibling at another university. Love the competitive spirit here!

We did manage to just about pull ahead of UNCG in numbers of observations last night, trailing just slightly for numbers of species but they have pulled ahead again as of this morning. It's going to be a tight competition! We are doing great on recruiting participants and leading in terms of people active in the BioBlitz. Here are the leaderboards as of this morning - you can also check for them live at the 2023 Campus Nature Challenge project:

We are just about at the halfway point in the challenge today. There are four more days to go including the weekend. The weather is cooperating nicely so far. Saturday morning is supposed to be rainy with thunderstorms so that might be a good time for those of you who are taking pictures with cameras to sit down and process and upload them to iNaturalist.
