As something new let’s check some observations from Novosibirsk, 38,5k in need of id. https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/bioraznoobrazie-novosibirskoy-oblasti
There’re also more observations to check from the mycoblitz https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/mycoblitz-europe-fall-2022

If you have plants in Alabama that need more people to create a maverick you can tag me

oh thank you!
I have my own project for our little spot of land, I recognised your username I think you may have helped before - but there are still un-RG or even un-ID’d plants in it. I’m making a personal guidebook of my own photos so I’d love any reviews on it :) Plants are my weakest…trying to get better

I worked on the first one you mention. For plants, it would help if I had knowledge of the local area, which I don’t. The birds that are left to ID are mostly real challenges!

I found a whole page of muskrats that for some reason weren’t confirmed and was quite surprised. Flora list of 2000 can be found here, but also there’s a project https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/novosibirsk-oblast-flora if that can be a help.

Sure, no problem.
I wish I could afford to buy property to protect it. People around here like to clearcut which then causes erosion and fills in wetlands. They also scrape all the woody debris and top soil away making it nearly impossible for the native orchids to survive. I have created a project for our 1/2 acre property and my neighbor’s ~3 acres. Also the adjoining wetland area where I can photograph it from our property. That adjoining property which is about 80% wetland that is unspoiled by invasive water plants and hosts large amounts of bladderworts and aquatic orchids and is home to beavers, otters, and many wood ducks (and ring-necked ducks and a few blue-winged teal in the winter). It’s a place I wish I could purchase. I’ve gone on a tangent unrelated to this thread…

Friday this week (and this weekend of course) means a bioblitz! If you’d like to look at whole-hemisphere Unknowns for that, here’s the umbrella version I use:

Thank you.
Coming in slowly, not quite 2K there for me now.

Well, as much as I like the idea of getting brand-new “unknowns” into identifiable categories, I think I’m going to go back to doing randomly-sorted ones instead. Today I had 80 notifications, and that was without providing any “plants” or “dicots.”

Yes, that’s the problem. I love to ID observations, but the more I ID, the more notifications I get! Sometimes it’s too much.

For people who like plant unknowns without finding many bugs in the pile, that link I posted is mostly cleaned of non-plants by this point.
It being November now, I expected to move over to Hong Kong, but it seems oddly quiet there on the website front- did the schoolkids move over to Seek (where the obs don’t get posted here)?

I’m having a flght today, so can’t really id anything for the next week, I live by a national park, so would like to see it getting more id help. https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/zhivaya-priroda-natsionalnogo-parka-losinyy-ostrov
Someone seems to be following my “angiosperms” and “dicots” since I’ve gotten like 300 notifications past fews days - I saw they liked a post of mine on the other ID thread, so maybe they did follow me around haha. I feel complimented if they did :) Even if not related, yay! getting more down to species and RG for Alabama :)
I’m down to under 2000 pages left…2 months to go to hit my goal to 0 pages by year’s end.
