I’m still working on my huge backlog of things to add to iNat, but I figured I’ve done enough for today. And then I saw that I hit 1,000 species without going over. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?hrank=species&place_id=any&user_id=lappelbaum&view=species (okay, so it’s 1,002 if I add cas…

But it’s the good kind of lopsided!

Congratulations! You can’t stop now and will even have to plan what to do on busy days. I have just finished my fifth year.
