Hi, I’ve never experienced or noticed this problem before on iNaturalist. I don’t know if this is a bug or maybe I’ve done something wrong. So, I’m a part of the Cherokee Forest Species Inventory project ([Cherokee Forest Species Inventory · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/cherokee-forest-species-inventory)). I have some observations made within the established boundaries, but for some reason they don’t show up in this project. The only two observations of mine that show up are these two: [Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) from Pascagoula, MS, USA on May 20, 2025 at 09:31 AM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/291286562) [Gulf Coast Box Turtle (Subspecies Terrapene carolina major) on May 07, 2023 at 08:14 AM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/160604393) For some reason my other observations within the created boundary do not show up. For example: [Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) from Cherokee Dr, Pascagoula, MS on June 13, 2018 at 11:10 AM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/116349802) [Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) from Cherokee Dr, Pascagoula, MS on June 28, 2018 at 07:03 PM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/238872904) [Western Cattle-Egret (Ardea ibis) from 30°21’10.8"N 88°30’58.7"W on March 29, 2019 at 03:41 PM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/116364445) [Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea) from Cherokee Dr, Pascagoula, MS on July 22, 2021 at 08:57 PM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/119165206) [Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) from Cherokee Dr, Pascagoula, MS on October 13, 2021 at 08:59 PM by Declan McElroy · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/119767323) I’m not sure if it’s on my end or not. Perhaps the way I entered the location is wrong. Has anyone else had this problem occur? What do I need to do to fix this problem? ---

My guess is it’s not included because the area of accuracy falls outside project boundaries. Try adjusting it down and see if that helps. ---

That was it! Thank you so very much! I was worried something was wrong with iNat. ---
