Currently we are just over at 25,000 observations and 130 species. These numbers are ahead of 2023. At this point 2023 had just under 24,000 observation and 126 species.
April and May both have new high numbers by considerable margins. We're still receiving June data, but behind 2022 and 2023. We have 10 days yet in July, and are considerably behind the last couple years for July.
Top counties include the usual - Summit, Lucas, Montgomery, Ashtabula, Franklin. On the low end are Putnam, Vinton, Paulding, Fayette, Clinton, and Wyandot - all with fewer than 50 observations.
Most reported species are Eastern Forktail, Fragile Forktail, and Common Whitetail. Eastern Forktail has now been observed in all 88 counties. Common Whitetail and Eastern Pondhawk just need observations in Putnam Co to have all 88.
So far there are 82 new county records. Comet Darner, Variegated Meadowhawk, and Emerald Spreadwing have all been documented in 5 new ...mais ↓

Special mentions on species go to tuckerc for Brush-tipped Emerald, and dhochadel for Golden-winged Skimmer. These are both rarities in recent years.
Our 5-year numbers on species/year is 135-140. We'll need at least 5 more - hopefully Black-tipped Darner, Green-striped Darner, Laura's Clubtail, Smoky Rubyspot, Striped Saddlebags.
