Project Notice -- Fill Out the Obs Fields!
Hello folks! It has been a while since I posted anything to this group but after reviewing a couple of observations posted to the group, I figured I'd bring this up. Fill out the observation fields! This project is designed to be like the NestWatch program from Cornell, which askes you the following:
- What was the status of the nest? (ex. completed, incomplete, flatten with fecal matter, etc.)
- What was the status of the young? (ex. eggs, partially feathered, dead, etc.)
- What was the status of the adults? (ex. building nest, remained on nest, flushed at nest, etc.)
I don't require these fields to be filled when you add your observation and that's because sometimes you can't obtain the following information. If a nest is in a tree cavity, you can't tell if there's eggs or if the nest is completed (though clues like adults with nesting materials or food can give clues). This is just an encouragement post to say, if you that information, add the observation fields!

I have 2 active nests monitored with video cameras. Can you provide guidance regarding how many observations you want for those? Once for each or at key development points (eg, when eggs are hatched)? Thanks for including me in your project! --Laura
Hi @lhaas! iNat usually goes by the rule of 1 observation per day for each individual.
Thank you, @birdwhisperer, for the help!
