Observation Period Over, ID Period Begins!
Wow! I'm super impressed by how many folks have already uploaded observations from this year's CNC - y'all are amazing! Keep in mind that we have until May 7th to finish uploading any remaining observations (remember, they have to have been made between April 28 - May 1) and then identify them.
Here is a video tutorial from iNaturalist on how to add identifications to other folks' observations:

Remember, you can filter which observations you want to identify by taxa. For example, if you feel comfortable helping identify birds you would simply select "birds" in the "search species" in the upper left corner of the screen. I have almost finished uploading my observations (will finish today) and then I will exclusively work on adding identifications.
For more info on how the identification system works, please see the iNaturalist help section:

If you have specific questions for me, please message me via iNaturalist; hit the envelope symbol in the upper right corner next to "upload".
