Since we updated the project filters this year to only include observations by people who have specifically joined the project, this year we'll be reporting a mix of iNat-wide stats (everyone's observations) and restricting leaderboards to people who are in the project.
193 observers
2,538 Needs ID or Research Grade observations (1,556 or 61% Research Grade)
596 species (428 at Research Grade)
170 identifiers
A little over 41% of the ILBBY project members made an observation in January! Hardy folk! Leading up January for number of species was @adriansydor, followed by @grantfessler, @wildlandblogger, @sedge, @abelkinser, @joelmc, @brdnrdr, @rarecatsnake, @elfaulkner, and @jfaupel.
Big thanks to @sedge, @adriansydor, @bouteloua, @grantfessler, @tsn, @rarecatsnake, @wildlandblogger, @greensnake879, @abelkinser, @john1kelly, @grazing, @wetlandfan, and @tkoffel who have all made more than 25 IDs on January Illinois plant observations.
Keep an eye on these links below for any documentations that are a first for Illinois on iNaturalist in 2021. You'll often find species on here that are the result of computer vision errors as well as observations that should be marked captive/cultivated. Fixing these helps sort the wheat from the chaff and keeps range maps representative of wild organisms. Many thanks to all who help with quality control. :)
Also, by sorting "not in common", and "before 2021" from most to fewest, you can use these links as a "hitlist" for species we haven't yet found in 2021.
