iNat Milestones

Wohoo, now a milestone I am really happy about, I just published my very first ID guide :partying_face:

https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/ajott/118556-quick-identification-guide-to-tigrosa-females

I wanted to do some guides since years. First on Argiope, but I do rarely ID them anymore and also do feel there are some better and more involved Argiope IDers active here by now. Then on european Pisauridae/ Dolomedidae.. I might do that one still, but these taxa are more of a winter project for me. And now finally the Tigrosas made me do it… it was just such a nice place to start with only a handful species and their limited range

I finally started my first project!! I felt too shy and nervous at first, but after re-going through some of my older photos, I decided I would give it a go!

Fun! I’ll have to see if I can find any “ruckus” among my birds…

Well, you can always count on finches to cause a ruckus at a feeder:

Thank you! What a funny observation! In the second frame, it looks like it is diving through the air :laughing:

Made a leaderboard–finally!! I’m the top observer of the Hairy Woodpecker (Allen’s) subspecies! (And one of the top identifiers, I guess since I ID’ed my own observations.) Sure, there’s only 17 observations in total, but still! And I didn’t even realize this until now!

Was pretty excited to get my first Great Southern Bioblitz observations ever while I was in Colombia the other week!

8 posts were split to a new topic: What areas are included in the Great Southern Bioblitz?

Over the last couple of weeks I’ve finally hit the double 200k - IDs and observations annotated. Happy days! Now I just need to get to the 20k observations… probably not for a while now winter’s closing in.

I still have many observations to make, I felt happy and excited like: “a child at Christmas for the presents”, when I reached the first 100. xD
