#IdentiFriday is the happiest day of the week

[pisum]

i thought i’d take another snapshot of the results from https://jumear.github.io/stirfry/iNat_obs_counts_by_iconic_taxa to see how things stand a month after this year’s CNC. it looks like overall, we have a slightly less favorable RG to Verifiable ratio, but it’s a relatively small difference vs 3 months ago.

the percent of unknown vs all observations has also gone up relatively significantly, but i guess we’ll work that out over time…

today’s snapshot:
