    Migration Island by @Mr. Zootycoon

    So many wonderful threads this year, and I admit to feeling somewhat guilty to the myriad of threads that I couldn't nominate, but I feel fairly happy with these three.

    Snowleopard's 2022 Road trip Denmark... @snowleopard

    The guide to Europe's zoos @amur leopard may have been a contender had it not ground to a halt far too early!

    Halfway through the timeframe for nominations. Just bumping this up for anyone who has not voted yet.

    Loads of interesting threads and hard to choose but my three would be;

    *Europe's 100 must see exhibits @lintworm - a great thread, well written with inspiring content
    *Snowleopard's 2022 Road trip Denmark Sweden and Norway... @snowleopard - what a fabulous road trip!
    *The Good the Bad and the Surprisingly well done - thoughts on an afternoon in Lincolnshire @Brum - interesting content which inspired a trip of my own to new zoos I hadn’t visited before and made my summer holiday even better

    I see my opinions are quite original here...
    (Well, probably because these threads are very well deserving of nomination)

    Where To See Captive Animals in the US by @TinoPup
    America's 50 Must-See Zoos by @pachyderm pro
    Europe's 100 Must-See Exhibits by @lintworm

    2022 was remarkable year in many ways and ZooChat is not an exeption. There are definitely more than 3 threads that deserve recognition, but sometimes we just need to make hard decisions:

    Snowleopard’s 2022 Rod Trip: Denmark, Sweden & Norway by @snowleopard

    Europe's 100 must-see exhibits by @lintworm

    A Guidebook Library by @TeaLovingDave

    Tomorrow we will be starting the final voting process, so if you have any threads you would like to potentially bump up to the finals, now is the time.

    Like most others, I had a difficult time picking just three as I had two other threads I really liked (shoutout to @lintworm and @TeaLovingDave). In the end, I ended up choosing these three as I felt I wasn’t as active as I would’ve liked in reading and catching up with those other two threads.

    America’s 50 Must-See Zoos - @pachyderm pro
    Where to see captive animals in the USA - @TinoPup
    There & Back Again: Brooks to Key Largo to Kachemak Bay - @Pleistohorse

    You're always welcome to catch up retrospectively, and post any/all feedback or thoughts you may have! :)
