I would like to have a convenient way to view observations in a specific county, but not the most common ones. Subscribing to taxa doesn’t really work unless the observation is correctly identified when posted–the subscriptions don’t pick up later identifications as far as I can tell. Using Places t…

The only option I can think of is to use the explore feature and at least filter the taxa down enough to ensure you get below the 500 threshold that show. For example filter to beetles, not insects etc. This of course assumes you dont consider things not seen as in the least observed. For example h…

You can get a list of species observed in a place that you have not recorded records of. Using the unobserved_by_user_id paramenter. With one caveat, it only works for things you have not seen anywhere, not in the chosen place. Thus a list like the URL below is all birds reported in Ontario that I…

In theory you could also create a personal list for the province/county whatever and use the list compare tool to compare against the checklist for the equivalent. However there is no way (at least I have ever figured out) to do this at the taxa level, you can only do it for everything it may be …

Yes, as you say, I knew the lists are buggy, so wanted to avoid that. But with your help in how to combine my unseen species with the county, I was able to bookmark Kingdoms only without reaching the 500 species limit–this is exactly what I wanted. So exciting! Thank you for helping me, cmcheatle!

The limits are on the mobile view. For example, when I looked for all species in Placer County on my iPhone, the data in the header said there were 2708 species observed, but the grid display of species showed only 500 (100 rows of 5 species), with no option to see more. To be able to page through a…

[image] saturnring: I know I’m dreaming here, but I’d love to be able to see a personalized page of organisms in a particular place that I have no observations of, plus organisms that have fewer than 30 observations by anyone. That would be a motivator. The new life list will do it! For examp…

It doesn’t work that way for me. It will only provide the species I haven’t seen anywhere.

In the screenshot, it looks like query 2 is missing an underscore in taxon_id.
