Searched for a project like this and there wasn’t one, so made it. The project is for observations of predators and prey. Please add your predation observations! Remember to list the prey species in the observation field. I put this photo I took yesterday as the background but let me know if you wa…

I joined and added two Observations, including this one of a Gull eating a fish . Unfortunately we can’t upload video to iNat (pity the servers!) but there’s a link to a tweet with the video. I also recommended this group to someone who’s been sharing great photos of birds (mostly ospreys) carrying …

Is there a corresponding project for prey out there? That is, a project for observations where the desired ID is for the prey? I set up one a few months ago called “Bird Food” to post some observations of birds feeding moths, butterflies, and other insects to their young, because a brief search didn…

I understand wanting to limit it to carnivory, and personally think carnivorous plants would be interesting to include!

[image] karen5lund: I also recommended this group to someone who’s been sharing great photos of birds (mostly ospreys) carrying fish. In general or someone in particular?

Someone in particular because of his several photos of birds clutching fish, but of course I’d recommend it to others where appropriate.

Oh sorry I thought you wrote “recommend”. As in, I should go find someone like that. Whoops! :sweat_smile: I’m glad you like the project!

I have one photo of 2 southern ground hornbills ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27891006 ) each with a different amphibian. Can the project allow for 2 species in the “prey” field? I’ve already posted the photos to id the prey ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/27891001 and https://w…

It would need to be two separate datapoints, so one observation for each bird.

I assume scavenging isn’t part of the intent of this project? For example I have an observation of turkey vultures on pinniped remains ( https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/29993404 ), but I doubt they killed it themselves.

Being a bit new, I’m not sure how one can always identify the species that is the prey. What species is that Egret holding? I tried looking at the project observations (to see what kind of identification was given to the prey in cases where I felt it would be hard to tell) but I can’t find how to ac…
