I posted previously about my interest in the earliest and latest shots (in terms of time of day) successfully ID’d in the system. Now that the game has ended, there’s a final winner in each of those categories.
The earliest shot ID’d was this one, taken by kiddo on June 7 at 5:31:12 a.m.:
The American Robin showed up frequently in the crack-of-dawn photos, as you can see from this list of the 10 days with the earliest identified shots:
