hi Dave,

A warm welcome to the community, thank you so much for joining! You're making a killer first impression with incredible photography. Hats off also for figuring out species identification all on your own.

Just one tip to make your sharing perfect: please also set the location on your photos, either at country level, or if you'd precisely using the geotag option. You can find the buttons in the right column, Posted 7 years ago

    Awesome that you now set the location, further filling up the CA map (but also the CA photos, species, etc):

        That is really appreciated, Dave! I remember 3 years back the USA map being quite empty, and only a handful of people filled it up quite nicely, just to illustrate how a big contributor makes a real difference. Posted 7 years ago
