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…

Woo-hoo! I know exactly how much work that takes and I know how knowledgeable your IDs are. Great job!

Still keeping to my goal of at least one obs a day [image]

I’m trying to do that too! It’s hard to find things in January though, unless I want to photograph spruce trees every day.

Yes, lot’s! Some neat ones too, although I have very little expertise in identifying them.

I recommend the book macrolichens of the pacific northwest 2nd edition(I think I remember you being in SE alaska) to get you started on that journey An usnea specific book that is good is Usnea in the pacific northwest by daphne fisher stone

I’m actually in south central Alaska, but thanks for the recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out.
