ID Week

First, thanks to everyone who joined the project and made the first ever FOTFP Cook County Nature Scavenger Hunt a success. So far, we have more than 350 observations in the project, but that number will definitely grow during the next week.

While there are no more species being announced for the contest, we have another week for observations to potentially get identified and included in the final scores. I'll be going through people's observations and helping to ID what ever I can (with fairness in mind and without influencing the results of the contest).

Stay tuned for next week when we'll announce the winners of the contest.

And the winners are...

So, our first, second, and third place winners should be obvious by now. Congratulations to @skrentnyjeff, @benzerante, and @maureenclare!

And here are our raffle winners:

1-7 points - @efrosinook
8-15 points - @joelmc
16-23 points - @brdnrdr

I will be messaging the winners shortly to arrange prize pickups.

Again, thanks for participating in the first ever FOTFP Cook County Nature Scavenger Hunt. I hope everyone enjoyed the contest and, more importantly, learned something new. Cook County is home to some amazing plants and wildlife. And you'll never run out of new species and places to see here.

FOTFP will hopefully be hosting another Cook County Nature Scavenger Hunt later this year. So keep an eye out for that. And if you're interested in learning more about how you can help to protect and support local plants and wildlife in Cook County, feel free to contact me.
