First Identifications

In my first time using the iNaturalist, I attended a Friday biology lab at Mount Royal, Montreal. Using the general theme "leaves", I scouted out what I believed to be different kinds of leaves and attempted to use the identification software of the app to name them. Although two of my plants were unable to be identified, I think I had good practice in looking for different identifiers and comparing traits to the suggested species, similar to using a Dichotomous Key. It was a very warm, sunny day and I had a great time walking through the trails and observing nature. If I do this again, I hope to be able to identify all of my pictures.
