Index of Subjects Good point; there are a lot of valuable and potentially valuable observations that come in, and somehow or other, they should be stored systematically, whether or not they meet a particular format. Snowdrops and winter aconite in bud down here in God's country, and a neighbour reported a snowdrop Feb. 20. -----Original Message----- From: naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca [mailto:naturens-owner@chebucto.ns.ca] On Behalf Of nancy dowd Sent: February 25, 2020 12:41 PM To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Great Horned Owl 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.
