November Challenge summary 2022 - My quick analysis

[Steve Mirick]

My total for November in Rockingham County was 143 species (a new
personal high) with 85 checklists.  I'd say I worked harder than usual
in Rockingham County.  It would be
interesting to see the number of checklists for each county to see where
more effort could help.  In any event, here is my "Trip Report" for
November in Rockingham County.  Click

2021 - 195 species
2020 - 200 species
2019 - 179 species
2018 - 207 species
