Identify time!
Time to identify City Nature Challenge observations! Results will be announced Monday, May 9th.
Did you know that anyone can help with identification on iNaturalist?
No formal training or expertise is needed because even sorting observations into very general categories like "plant" or "frog" can be super helpful! Globally there are currently 304,162 observations that don't have any label at all. Can you help out?
Some stats:
| May 3rd | May 4th | May 5th | May 6th | May 7th | May 8th | Identify link | |
| City Nature Challenge 2022 Chicago Metro observations with no ID at all | 437 observations | 308 observations | 229 observations | 125 observations | 90 observations | 59 observations | help identify |
| Observations with no ID globally all-time | 304,162 observations | 296,938 observations | 291,698 observations | 282,951 observations | 282,119 observations | 273,499 observations | help identify |
| CNC2022Chi all "Needs ID" observations | 4,680 observations | 4,208 observations | 4,101 observations | 3,924 observations | 3,844 observations | 3,706 observations | help identify |
| CNC2022Chi observations at rank "order" or coarser | 363 observations | 377 observations | 403 observations | 427 observations | 438 observations | 395 observations | help identify |
| CNC2022Chi underlooked captive/cultivated plants at rank genus or coarser | 226 observations | 271 observations | 291 observations | 303 observations | 302 observations | 315 observations | help identify |

Other ways to help
Not so interested in identifying? How about marking whether a plant is budding, flowering, or fruiting, or if an observation is of an egg, larva, or adult? There are a ton of other ideas listed here: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/ways-to-help-out-on-inat-wiki/1983

I believe i've gone through all the fungi.
If i post today, does it get added to the challenge? It reads like it will automatically, Is that desired or not?
@yurmom2 The "observation date" just needs to be between April 29th and May 2nd. So you do still have time to upload observations of nature sightings from this past weekend. All observations within that time period and within the place boundaries are automatically counted in the project. (map at https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2022-chicago-metro)
Great. Do I need to “leave” the group to avoid mucking up the data with new observations starting today?
nope! you're all set
