just for grins, i created a little page to help pull observation counts by iconic taxa (for those who love stats).

code: https://github.com/jumear/stirfry/blob/gh-pages/iNat_obs_counts_by_iconic_taxa.html

one day i will improve this to allow query by, say, date ranges or user ids or project ids… one day…
