Hello, fellow Socially Distant Bioblitz-ers,
Congratulations to the following participants for submitting these beautiful and detailed photo observations! Each winner can click on the link to their digital certificate award. We all had a difficult time picking our favorite observations as there were over 8,000 to choose from.
Once again, thank you to @gpasch and The Lost Tinamou nature preserve for creating the awards and hosting them online. Winners for audio observations will be posted shortly!
