I also agree that would be nice, but then again there’s also no guidelines regarding how large of a geographic area constitutes a team, so it’s never going to be really equal.
@dianastuder Yes I am shocked how much La Paz is leading!

they have so many observers. DC and Cape Town have about 700 observers each, but La Paz has 2300. if you add San Francisco’s and Houston’s observers to DC and Cape Town, then you beat La Paz’s observer count by only 1.

I see 508,870 needs ID left from 2021 CNC weekend and 708,140 needs ID this year with plenty of time for more uploads and IDs this week. Total verifiable at the moment is 1.19 million last year and 1.06 this year (Friday to Sunday, I’ll have to fix my comment and add Monday).

Well, at least that might keep us busy on rainy days for a while!

Here we go again. I still have 1,300 unknowns left from CNC in my state. What’s your IdentiFriday goal?

Survive uploading everything before the noon.) But actually my last id goal was to sort through everything in needs of id in Ivanovo. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?place_id=134612
Today’s goal is to hit 67,677 IDs total, 60 more than yesterday. Have I started yet? No. Am I leaving in 90 minutes to go hiking in New York state? Yes.
Guess I better find some easy IDs to make.
ETA, 28 minutes later: Well, that was easy. Maybe I should increase my daily goal? (No, I shouldn’t, because I am way behind on progress towards the number of observations I want to hit this year, so I should stop making IDs and go make observations in my yard - the female oriole is back, the robins are building a nest, there seem to be two pairs of catbirds this year, and it’s still cool enough the bees should be easy to photograph.)

I decided to work on uploading observations today instead. I’m currently working on adding some of my backlog of spiders that showed up in my house.

I have this vision of spiders lined up in quiet corners, muttering to themselves, “Lappelbaum promised us internet glory, but how long do we have to wait?”

Thanks for taking over the african continent… I only worked on some areas in the north and some species there so far

Wolf spiders are uploaded. Jumping spiders are going to have to wait a bit longer.

And it’s Friday again! Amazing how often it comes around again. I will be doing my usual 60-or-so IDs today, but having reached my ID goal for the year already, I’m also going hiking with a friend and hoping to add 50 or more observations today.
And what are you doing today, dear identifiers?

Day job today, observations and uploads tomorrow, so I think Sunday will be a good day to catch up on Cercocarpus trees.

If anyone can help, I would like some help on my latest observations from the Far East, many easier species to confirm. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?d1=2022-05-14&place_id=any&quality_grade=needs_id&user_id=marina_gorbunova&verifiable=any
i see that May 20 is both Endangered Species Day (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?verifiable=true&csi=EN) and World Bee Day (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/identify?verifiable=true&taxon_id=630955).
