I REALIZED OVER THE WEEKEND THAT I HAD NEVER UPLOADED ANY PHOTOS OR OBSERVATIONS FROM MY 2ND VISIT TO THE ALBANY PINE BUSH PRESERVE. I ALSO DISCIVERED I'D NEVER PROCESSED OBSERVATIONS FROM A TRIP TO A LOGN ISLAND BOG, BACK IN 2014!SO, CURRENTLY:- 17,036 OBSERVATIONS- 1,901 SPECIESHTTPS://WWW.INATURALIST.ORG/OBSERVATIONS?PLACE_ID=ANY&USER_ID=XRIS&VERIFIABLE=ANY#INATURALIST #NATUREPHOTOGRAPHY #URBANNATURE #NATURETRAVEL #NATURALISTS #URBANNATURALISTS CC: @xris

MORNING GLORY 2024-05-11HTTPS://FLIC.KR/P/2PQWUJ6A SWATH OF HEIRLOOM BEARDED IRIS ('SAMBUCINA'?) IN FULL BLOOM IN MY FRONT YARD.

JUST A WEEK LATER, AND BOY, ARE THEY ACTIVE! THERE COULD BE HUNDREDS HERE.AS I REPORTED LAST WEEK, THEY ARE MOST ACTIVE IN THE AREA ALONG THE DRIVEWAY WHERE I NOT ALONG FORKED THE COMPACTED SOIL, BUT WEEDED IT, AS WELL, TURNING OVER MOST OF THE SOIL. THERE IS SOME ACTIVITY WHERE I ONLY FORKED THE SOIL, INCLUDING SOME NEST ENTRACES, BUT NOT SO MUCH AS THIS AREA.HTTPS://VIMEO.COM/941453781#HABITATGARDENING #BEES #WILDBEES #URBANNATURE #VIDEO CC: @xris

WHEN I POSTED THIS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I WAS AT 1,844 SPECIES ON INAT.HTTPS://WWW.INATURALIST.ORG/OBSERVATIONS?CREATED_D2=2024-03-18&PLACE_ID=ANY&USER_ID=XRIS&VERIFIABLE=ANY&VIEW=SPECIESJUST CATCHING UP ON OLD OBSERVATIONS - MOST OF THOSE FROM A JUNE 2015 FIELD TRIP IN PENNSYLVANIA - BROUGHT ME TO 1,855.I'M NOW UP TO 1,860. BY THE OF 2022, I HAD 1,529 SPECIES. LAST YEAR IT WAS 1,829.MY PROJECTION OF 2,000 BY YEAR-END WAS CONSERVATIVE. LET'S SAY ... 2,200 FOR THIS YEAR ?!#INATURALIST #NATUREPHOTOGRAPHY #URBANNATURE #NATURETRAVEL #NATURALISTS #URBANNATURALISTS @xris

@kpmcfarland @gbif AH, I OVERLOOKED THE "ADVANCED" TAB. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE A WAY!SO FAR, I'VE GOT 10,337 RECORDS IN GBIF.HTTPS://WWW.GBIF.ORG/OCCURRENCE/SEARCH?RECORDED_BY=CHRIS%20KREUSSLING%20(FLATBUSH%20GARDENER)&ADVANCED=1AND THE DATASET:HTTPS://DOI.ORG/10.15468/DL.UHE22G#INATURALIST #GBIF #BIODIVERSITY #RESEARCH #CITATION #ECOLOGY CC: @xris

@xris @gbif I JUST TRIED IT WITH MY NAME AND IT WORKED PERFECTLY. IT FOUND MY NAME IN SEARCH AND I SELECTED IT AND PRESTO! @kpmcfarland

@gbif QUESTION: HOW CAN I / IS THERE A WAY TO SEARCH FOR GBIF RECORDS BASED ON AUTHOR, NOT JUST DATASET?MY USE CASE: A RESEARCHER APPROACHED ME ABOUT REFERENCING *MY* OBSERVATIONS FOR A SPECIFIC TAXON. I CAN EASILY GIVE THEM AN INATURALIST SEARCH TO DO THAT. I WOULD PREFER TO GIVE THEM A DOI.MY RG INAT OBSERVATIONS ARE IN GBIF, BUT I CAN FIND NO WAY TO JUST FIND *MY* OBSERVATIONS IN GBIF.#INATURALIST #GBIF #BIODIVERSITY #RESEARCH #CITATION #ECOLOGY CC: @xris

@xris @gbif IF YOU ADDED AN ORCID TO INATURALIST IT WILL CARRY OVER TO GBIF AND YOU CAN SEARCH BY THAT IN OBSERVER FIELD. @kpmcfarland

@xris @gbif THE FIELD IS UNDER ADVANCED FILTER AND IS RECORDED BY ID. YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO USE THE FIELD RECORDED BY AND PUT IN YOUR USER NAME FROM INAT OR NAME USED WITH YOUR ACCOUNT. @kpmcfarland
