Hey friends,
I've noticed quite a few new users of iNat, and with the new users come a LOT of new observations... A LOT of these observations then need some ID's! So, if you have some spare time, scroll through the ID please section. It's a great way to welcome the new users, and it inspires them to get more observations and higher quality observations too.
Here is a link with the filters that I use... I deselect the "needs ID" -- I've found that some observations are mis-ID'ed (I'm not throwing stones because I've been wrong thousands of times when I give ID's to folks!).

And hey, use the comments too -- be sure to say "neat observation" or something along those lines.
I got into iNat because of the welcoming community, so I sure want to reciprocate that welcome. Hope you do too! Thanks to everyone that's already been doing lots of ID's!

Thanks for the heads up Sam. I haven't been giving many ID's lately and it is a big help getting some ID's or feedback on your observations.
Sounds good! I know quick responses to my first observations yesterday kept me interested in adding more.
Will do, Sam. And have done a couple of times recently. You were welcoming to me back in January when I joined after overhearing the word "iNaturalist" in a meeting.
I'll certainly do what I can. I know it's always very encouraging to get an ID on a photo that I have no idea about or would have to take some time to key.
Will do, Sam. I certainly make mistakes and appreciate when fresh eyes help me, so would be happy to help where I can!
Sounds like a great idea!
Thanks for the tips and keeping a positive atmosphere.
