Public coordinates shown as a random point within 10KM of the true coordinates. True coordinates are only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
private
Coordinates completely hidden from public maps, true coordinates only visible to you and the curators of projects to which you add the observation.
open
Everyone can see the coordinates unless the taxon is threatened.

Probably a juvenile Red-tailed, but hard for me to say for sure without seeing the front or a shot of the bird in flight. Very cool scene, though! This was near the big dish, right? Are there still Golden Eagles around there?
Ken-Ichi,
Yes, it was near the big dish. I'm pretty sure this is the same individual as the one in my Red-tailed hawk observation. His territory seems to be between the two dishes. We see him so often, I feel like I ought to give him a name.
We are always looking for those Golden Eagles. We may have seen a couple about a week ago, but they were so far away. They had those "fingers" at the end of their wings like you mentioned.
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
the community agrees the location doesn't looks accurate (e.g. monkeys in the middle of the ocean, hippos in office buildings, etc.)
the community agrees the organism isn't wild/naturalized (e.g. captive or cultivated by humans or intelligent space aliens)
