Like to try and get a good observation photo of? Right now, its kinglets and their nonstop action. Most shots are either blurred or focused on a stick in the foreground. A species that I truly hate is Tree of Heaven. I have hack and squirt so many only for it to sucker sprout and cause more problems. They smell bad, attract spotted lanternfly, and nearly impossible to get rid of. We worked so hard to reduce their population in state parks, but I feel as though we barely made a dent.

If you catch them or have good evidence, but it seems these days the police are too busy dealing with domestic abuse and minor drug offenses to care about such destructive behaviours.

Then why delete them??
I started surveying a lot a few months ago, before the hurricane. One corner is a pipe near the road; another appears to be some distance back, and I’ve computed a look-for point, but the last time I went looking for it (before the storm), it was beyond some pokeweed (which I should have gotten a picture of, but didn’t) and kudzu. A gap in the pokeweed turned out to be a hole in the ground, so I got my bush ax and the plant scissors and hacked the pokeweed. The client is fine with waiting until the kudzu dies down. I observed two eastern redcedars and a magnolia, at least one of which I’m fairly sure will have to be chopped down, kudzu, and some othe plants. Then I came back and measured the positions of the trees and other things, and uploaded the obs.

Because at least it is more hidden than it originally was before it was deleted. I do understand where you are coming from.
Kinda like this one I deleted: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/what-are-your-most-annoying-species/57220/89?u=wvbirder
I would rather it be more hidden rather than it was before it was deleted.
Huh, it deleted all the way. I guess it takes some time to disappear. Thanks for explaining.
Most splendid!
In a new park created here in Cordoba, a city desperately in need of green space, let alone natural green spaces, a neighbour kindly planted 5 or 6 invasive plants there, along with a note expaining that they are a ‘gift’ to the neighbourhood and the new park.
It’s a lovely sentiment, but it helps you understand how we’re in the position we are in WRT invasives.

More like a curse. 
What plants are they?

The standard fare - Agaves, Cactuses, and the Eucalypts are already rampant in every water course.
I agree, nuthatches do hop about the tree then leave very quickly (hard to get pictures of)I mistook them for small woodpeckers quite often

House Crickets (Gryllodes sigillatus), especially when they find a hard to reach corner in the garage and start singing. As soon as you get close, they stop singing and hide, so it takes days to catch & release them.
