2024 New England and New York Plants ID-a-thon, Feb....

The Needs ID pile has shrunk by 34,766 observations in just 48 hours! (48 hours of hard, dedicated work, I might add.)

As best as I can estimate, 1,118 new plant observations were added on Saturday and Sunday, as well (I can't figure out how to get the Friday evening new observations.) That means we (and the rest of the iNat identifiers) cleared at least 35,844 (34,766 plus 1,118) observations. That really is just amazing!

And I hope you had as much fun as I did. There were so many notifications coming and going all weekend and I really enjoyed that.

One last surprise: @arboretum_amy was kind enough to give me the form of an API query to determine how many IDs each of you made in the past 48 hours. Here are the results, in alphabetical order, for everyone who contributed:
