July 13 - Update on County-Complete Species
Our survey tracks species by county. Ohio has 88 counties. When we record a species in all counties in a year, I call this "County-Complete." Our first County-Complete was Blue Dasher in 2018. We had 7 sp in all counties in 2019, then again in 2022.
Here's our progress for the top recorded species for 2023. The counties listed are those needed. These shouldn't be too hard to find, we just need people to take a look.
| Eastern Forktail | Fragile Forktail | Eastern Pondhawk | Common Whitetail | Blue Dasher |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fairfield | Adams | Auglaize | Auglaize | Adams |
| Holmes | Defiance | Fayette | Knox | Clinton |
| Knox | Highland | Knox | Monroe | Fulton |
| Scioto | Knox | Marion | Noble | Highland |
| Wood | Monroe | Mercer | Ottawa | Knox |
| Wyandot | Paulding | Paulding | Marion | |
| Putnam | Putnam | Mercer | ||
| Seneca | Monroe | |||
| Wood | Pickaway | |||
| Ross | ||||
| Van Wert |
Note the greatest need in Knox, Monroe, Paulding, Putnam, Scioto, Highland, Noble. Any attention to these counties would be appreciated.
