The data quality assessment is a summary of an observation's accuracy. All
observations start as "casual" grade, and achieve
"research" grade when
-
the iNat community agrees with the observer's ID, where an "agreeing"
identification is one that matches exactly or is of a child taxon of the
observer's ID. For example, if Scott says it's a mammal and Ken-ichi
says it's Homo sapiens, then Ken-ichi agrees with Scott.
- the observation has a date
- the observation is georeferenced (i.e. has lat/lon coordinates)
- the observation has a photo
Observations will revert to "casual" grade if the above conditions aren't met or
Comments & Identifications
How did they get there? Do you have adults in the area?
NO idea! I see Rio Grande Frogs in the yard and a few cricket frogs and one Strecker's Chrous Frog. It is at least a mile to the nearest pond or stream. In August I saw frog eggs in the water feature and now there are several young bull frogs. Not a clue where they came from, but I don't believe any human intervention is responsible.
Well, humans are likely responsible for the species' presence in Dripping Springs. I've found adults a loong way from water.
Very good point! Onion Creek is a mile or so from me and there are a few farm ponds between here and the creek according to Google Earth.
