I do not use iNaturalist (too many places to post observations/not enough time so I only use eBird). But I suggest one of your group members look at the eBird observations and add them to your project and enter them as a third party since they have date and location. Too bad these forums are not linked so relevant sighting/hearings would automatically transfer. But it seems that observation posting sites are competing for data more than sharing it. There is too much random data out there.
