Day 20--1000 Species Challenge Update

Not the most productive day, species wise.  I taught in the morning at ESU, then drove down to suburban Philly to give a talk at the Wyncote Audubon Society.  Had a great time, but my only new species were a cool starfish that I've been looking for and finally found in the saltwater aquarium at work, and a series of strange and exotic plants that I found by searching herbal supplement labels at CVS pharmacy!  I ended the day with only 13 new species, for a total of 641 for the month.

I'm just over a day behind schedule now, but still in it to win!
