Day Seven: The Excitement Continues

Our numbers are pretty stable right now. I think we've added a couple observations and species since yesterday, but I don't expect a huge increase over the next few days. At this point, we're concentrating on increasing our proportion of research quality observations, currently at 37.2%.

I've been scrolling through the observations today, looking for "interesting" ones. Shardintx found Agrobacterium (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212366403), which has to be our first observation of any bacterium. Ian Meloni found a Slowinski's Cornsnake (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212677457). Obviously, I need to update my snake taxonomy! swilk-2 found an American Bittern at Old Country Club Lake (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/212013430) that's apparently still there. Blakeelzi contributed a bunch of fishes, which we always have trouble getting. We have a great representation of minor insect orders. I didn't have a chance to look for a silverfish in the house (I'll find one very soon, I'm sure), but Newt Knorpp came through (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/210907664).

There are still a lot of plants that are questionably wild. If your observations are of cultivated plants, please mark "Organism is wild" "no." Thanks.
