We have done great on getting lots of species! Now let's try to get more observations from around the state! Looking at the observation map, I see lots of gaps in our geography of Virtual BioBlitz! 2017. I got out my state map and my Sharpie to figure out which counties had no observations. From my best reckoning, of the 77 counties in Oklahoma, we have observations from only about half of them!
Your challenge is to make 10 identifiable, photographic observations in a county that has not been represented up to this point. Below is the list of counties that need observations (from my comparison of observations and a map of Oklahoma counties). The deadline is midnight, Wednesday April 26th.
This challenge will be for a chance to earn one of three books - Landscaping for Wildlife: A Guide to the Southern Great Plains, Oklahoma's Amphibians and Reptiles, Butterflies of Oklahoma, Kansas, and North Texas, Bats of Oklahoma Field Guide, or Last Child in the Woods.
Have fun exploring the state!
