In explore, I drew a small custom boundary and an obscured observation showed up. I don’t believe thats how this is supposed to work. I understand that this turtle isn’t from this park, but…
See attached map, observations & obscured observation
this is working as normal

Pretty sure this is working as expected. The custom boundary includes any observation with a public location within the boundary. For example, Calochortus tiburonensis only occurs on one small hill in Marin County*. If I make a boundary that doesn’t include that hill, I still get a bunch of obscured points in my boundary:
(*The location of the plant is widely advertised and known and there are docents during busy times when it blooms.)

Ok, I assumed that custom boundaries behaved like regular places - the box turtle wouldn’t appear if that box was a ‘place’.
Guess I’m mistaken. Thanks.
Looks like I’ll need to explicitly exclude obscured observations when looking at custom boundaries.
