I got the geotagging blues

I know my last post cheerily exclaimed how much I love iNaturalist now I have a smart phone, but...

It seems my phone often doesn't acquire accurate fixes. Normally this is not a problem, but one of my personal projects involves mapping harvester ant colonies, and I'd like to be a bit more precise that "in the neighborhood somewhere."

I'll probably have to just use my handheld gps for that and work from a csv.

Either way, this is still great fun.

I spent an hour or so wandering around a wild corner of a park document species before the city turns it into a disc golf course. We'll see how many are still there after that happens.
