Do Your Observations Need to be Identified?

On BowerBird many observations remained unidentified, partly because the "Needs ID" search only finds observations without any ID, rather than just missing a genus level ID. These records do not serve much purpose until they are at least identified to some level. Having something there also allows specialists in a field to find your observation so increases the likelihood of further refinement (most people can't look at every observation). It also eliminates some ambiguity if there are several objects in an image (an insect on a flower, for example) for what you want identified.

To find any of your own records that don't have any identification:
1. Click on Identify from the menu at the top.
2. Click on the Filters option on the search line.
3. Tick the Your Observations box.
4. Select the Unknown category.
5. Click on Update Search.

Clicking on an observation will open an identification window for you.

Additionally, in the Filters if you expand More Filters and in the Project input box type and then select bowerbird (be sure to not have Your Observations selected) you can help identify observations from other members of the BowerBird community here.
