4. Can I add photos of different organisms to one observation?

Each observation should be of an individual organism at a specific place and time, and the photos in the observation should be of that organism. If you want to add another photo of the organism (for example, a photo of its leaves after you’ve already photographed the flower) to the observation, please see below.

Does this mean that if you see, for example, a flock of birds, you should make an observation for each individual bird? No, most iNat users usually just upload a photo or two of a group of the same species and make one observation.
