    Theresa, Thanks so much for taking the time to do a Molt Search! Such a textbook submission photo that makes our data-check job over here so easy. I just wanted to confirm the fact that you entered this as an “Opportunistic Observation” and didn’t actually follow the standard 20 person-minute search time. Exciting to see local diversity submitted either way, but if you did take the time to set that timer, we can update the report from here; since timed searches are the ones that our researchers are able to take furthest in their analysis. We love making the most of your data however we can, so thanks for being part of this important work with us! -Lisa
