iNat Milestones

(Just bin the plants, says iNat)
I started on 18 Nov with 2.5K obs for the Cape Peninsula trapped in broad Plantae … down to Epifamily.
Today I am done. Now I can try to keep our Pensinsula plants towards where taxon specialists can filter to plant family.

I am tracking the taxa where I am (so far) the only observer on iNat, and out of 54 unique taxa, 50 are now from Austria.

Almost all of these observations are made within the city of Vienna - and none from the Alps, where I would consider to be a high potential for making more special observations.

But I would not mind if this number goes down, as it would mean that other users are also uploading those rarely observed species.

500 observations, thanks to going through a photo album from long ago. All the way back to graduating high school.

From which groups they are? I think for insects it’s possible in any city for a hard-working observer, recently I checked some beetles list, most of them aren’t even added to iNat system, a person going around and observing/iding them, would be seen as a magician.

Mainly flies, also some hymenopterans, beetles and tiny fungi, plus some diverse other critters.
No plants anymore, and after posting yesterday, had to remove already one more species.

Just passed 1,500 observations for the year. Pretty pleased with that. Am in Australia for Christmas, so hoping to rack up plenty more while we’re here. And hopefully a healthy number of firsts.

Crossed 10,000 IDs in the last day. I was watching it closely on the approach and was then distracted by ID zeal, so I’m not sure of the observation. Most of my IDs have been unknowns.

The Greater Houston area just passed 1,000,000 observations! https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=110679

Checking my year in review, I had a 35 day streak. 35 days of decent weather? Kudos to Mother Nature!!

I’m likely to end up with 1,000 observations just for 2022. I’m already at 965 and I still have some stuff to upload.

I’m over 160K ID’s on Bombus. Here is a screenshot with my ID’s excluded. One by one the states fall.

Congratulations! I hope to hit the same milestone very shortly too.

I just broke 100 species with a Western Grebe. Milestone and lifer at the same time. :grin:

(Turned out to be a Horned Grebe. Still a lifer, though!)

Last milestone of the year :-)
I did several hundred IDs today to hit that 40.000 for 2022.
