I think you’ll find much of what you’re looking for here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/observing-identifying-wildlife-wiki/15332
particularly the forum post linked within it here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/photo-taking-recommendations-by-taxon/1962/10
I could swear I remember a Google Doc or something similar that was organized by taxa, but I’m unable to find it. If it does exist, hopefully someone else drops it in here!
