That's cool! I'll definitely bookmark it.
Tracking everything down isn't easy. I've taken on that effort just around my place and only with insects/bugs. I almost got to 600 species here after this year. Those are species identified the best I can using iNaturalist and other sources, and I know they aren't all correct. It is good enough to know things are different species.
I've gotten one endangered species and two species never documented in the state before. I've also gotten a few undescribed species, mainly wasps.
ETA: Thanks for sharing that!

I've been doing somewhat the same, only with blondes, brunettes and redheads. It's definitely not easy - now that I'm older they can outrun me.

Wow. Great link. 
I have these guys show up on my bird feeders 3 times a day. They are awesome though some say they are invasive. Dont even care.

What species of bird is that? Invasive? Is Sarasota your actual location?

They were all bees. One big bumblebee and the others smaller bees. I'd have to look back at my iNat for the names.
