Diario del proyecto Erie MetroParks

We did not have any new members this month. If you know of anyone that may be interested, please direct them to our page!

During November, it seems everyone was busy, as there were very few observations.

The project increased from 6699 to 6730 observations (+31), 1631 to 1637 species (+6), and 154 to 154 observers (+0).

Our number of Research Grade observations increased from 4187 to 4241 (+54). This equates to a Research Grade percentage of 63.02% (up from 62.51%).

In total, there were 28 observations added to the project within November 2022. The observations include 12 insects, 10 birds, 1 fungi, 1 mammal, 1 arachnid, 1 reptile, and 1 plant.

Of these, there were 24 species recorded. Ring-billed Gull, American Robin, Isabella Tiger Moth, and Chinese Mantis were the only species observed on more than 1 occasion (2 occasions each).

The observations came from just 5 observers. They were @briarrose777 (11), @martyndrabik (9), @mikehensley75 (4), @jenniferc3 (2), and @murrdogg (2).
