Time to Identify!
It has been so inspiring to see the tremendous effort from across the metropolitan area to document our biodiversity. Before the results are announced on Friday, we need to do our best to clean up our data and ensure correct IDs, as well as appropriately marking captive/cultivated organisms!
Of almost 22,000 observations, there are still >1700 with no identifications at all, thousands more that still need ID or confirmation, and several hundred captive/cultivated observations (mostly garden plants). Be sure to check your own observations, and then see what you can do for others. I recommend logging into the website on a computer to help with IDs rather than trying to do it from a phone.
Here's a short video describing how to use the Identify tool to go through observations more quickly.
@dbarber is really leading the charge with 1345 identifications made for others! Locals @krosenthal @jmgconsult and @matt-ratcliffe have each done more than 600! I am aiming to do at least twice as many identifications as the number of observations I added (which means I'm shooting for at least 450).
I'm going to tag some folks in the comments below. Thanks for anything you can do to help!

In addition to the folks mentioned above for their really outstanding contributions to identifications, I want to thank each and every one of you who has contributed both observations and identifications to this effort in our area (again, as of Wednesday morning). Please check out the post above and see if you can add any more identifications before 9 am on Friday morning.

To those of you who have contributed >20 observations to the City Nature Challenge but haven't added identifications to others yet, please give it a try! There are still many observations in need of coarse IDs like "insect", "bird", or "plant" even if you don't know the species exactly. It's a great way to learn more!

As you're going through observations, if you spot anything really noteworthy and awesome, please add it to this spreadsheet!
