Season
When it is recorded
In Ohio
Not enough evidence
Not enough records in Ohio yet to show a season. A season needs at least 20 records from 5 different years. Missing records do not mean it is absent.
What these results show
These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.
