Great post Joe and I second all of your points of the value of the CNC. This year was obviously more of a challenge to find species since a lot of places were closed due to the virus, but it's amazing what participants were able to do despite that. Sometimes just having a reason to get out there can inspire new interest in nature, especially among our youth, and sometimes we find things like my Bahama Mockingbird that wouldn't have been found if I didn't have to be in Broward County for the count. If you have photos of birds or other organisms and can contribute them, it would be a big help to the count anf iNaturalist in general. If you set up an iNat profile now, you will be all set for next year's count! ;-) Thanks, Jay Keller
