Here are a few things. If you have any questions or want to see data presented in a different format, or different data, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Neat stuff - was this something you did on your own or did you take the lead on it this year?

Good work compiling the data.
I'm interested in how many people contributed, but I guess you cant pull this directly from the website? 370 is not very many records, I entered 38% of these. We can do way better.

Well done, and thank you. It looks to me like you put a lot more than a couple of hard hours of work into this.

370 is not very many records
Point of clarification - we had 1,926 records representing 370 species.
was this something you did on your own or did you take the lead on it this year?
I would say that NAFHA came up with it last year. We're a team, and we worked together on the name and dates. I just now got around to messing with the data. When we do this again in 2015, I'll try to mess with the data sooner.
I'm interested in how many people contributed, but I guess you cant pull this directly from the website
I could go record by record and make note of the person who contributed, but I really have no interest in doing that. I could probably do that for a representative day, perhaps like June 6th which had the most number of entries. Though # of entries may not correlate with # of contributing people. For all I know a handful of people found a bunch of stuff on that day.

Oh my bad
....that number makes a lot more sense.

Yeah I wouldn't expect you to. Don would have to make a score card with that information. Maybe we can do that for next year.

I'm fine with this as long as he volunteers. I look at Don as being overworked and under appreciated so I try not to make extra work for him, but sometimes it's unavoidable

That is pretty cool stuff. Thanks for doing that. As the database gains momentum it may be interesting to see what happens next June by comparison.
