Difficulty Accessing Historical Sound Observations Data

[gljcrsmith1]

Hi all, I’ve been trying to review historical sound observations for a specific location to track seasonal changes in wildlife activity. However, I’m finding it challenging to access older sound recordings due to limited filtering options on the platform. Specifically, I’m unable to easily filter or sort sound observations by year or month, which makes it hard to analyze long-term trends. Has anyone else encountered this issue or found a workaround? Is there a way to request or access historical data more effectively? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, Josiah.

How/where are you trying to filter these records? You can definitely sort sounds by year or month
