Last day of the BioBlitz!

Hi everybody,

last day of our BioBlitz for spring 2023 and AppState is leading this morning! Stunning effort from everyone involved in pulling us ahead yesterday. Nothing quite like a sprint on the finish line, right? Will we be able to stay on the top today? Or will UNCG catch up again? It's looking like another gorgeous spring day out there, but feels a bit more like winter again starting the day with a freeze warning. Bring an extra layer of clothing if you go out this morning.

We have four participants who each made close to or over 200 observations so far with leighalobelia taking the lead. That gets us two of the top 5 observer spots. Leading that list are jaajowele from UNCG with over 400 observations and iantb from UNCW with 350. Collectively, we have over 1,200 species identified across all three universities so far. I'm looking forward to taking a closer look at all that data to see what everybody found and which species seem unique to each campus.

The competition ends at midnight today. Let's get out there one more day and see what else we can find!
