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…

I’m getting close to observing 5000 species, but with all the unided observations I expect real number of verifiable species being higher than that, wonder how many years it will take to get 10k, side-eyeing @silversea_starsong 18k that will be half bigger by that time!

I crossed 100k Bombus ID’s recently, and have been keeping needs ID for impatiens, bimaculatus and griseocollis at zero.

Wow - that is seriously impressive!

I just unkowingly uploaded my 7,777th observation, a ratty-looking late perennial saltmarsh aster https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/139689522 . I try identify as much as I upload and have gotten quite ahead with about 3,000 more IDs than observations, and with winter coming I’m sure that gap …

I must be slacking! You joined only a few months before me and I have less than 5,000 observations, although I hope to pass that milestone while uploading this last year’s backlog.

I really enjoy reading this thread! So many cool milestones… and shares. I also found a few neat links in here like that little tool that told me tomorrow is my 3000th day on iNat!! I guess I have a milestone to celebrate after all! :scream_cat: Like so many others, I too keep a backyard list going…

I hit 5,000 observations last night! Still not done with that backlog so I should get a few hundred more out of it.

I now have 8,000 observations. #8000 being an Osprey [os]

I just hit the same milestone… my 8000th is a Bromelicaidae from an amazing hike through fairytail-land last sunday :-) (probably Tillandsia biflora, but I let the plant experts decide, as plants are not my strongsuit) [tillandiso01] https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/140524185

I just hit 1400 species observed, which I’m pretty pleased about.
