As you can tell, there are many answers! Basically, do whatever you want. My observations depend on a lot of things. Unlike the “simple woman” @Mercedes-Fletcher (quite a funny comment, btw. Kudos!), I don’t care if my observations go up. Some things I can’t be bothered recording - blowflies, Canada Geese and plants (sorry to all my botanical friends). Another factor for me is seasonal - we get about 6 months of cold weather here, and during that time non human life is either dormant or has migrated. My winter observations tend to be of the same few bird species that stick around, and traces in the snow.
I also prefer identification, so spend most of my iNat time doing that. I also just like being outside, feeling the seasonal changes. I go out every day, and if I make an observation, great. If not, I’ve still been outside!
