Improve Your Chances for Observation ID...

Greetings!

Because I have been given so much great assistance ( I'm pretty new at this myself) I thought I might pass along a helpful tip:

Instead of leaving an observation unknown or "something", you might get more IDs by adding a coarse ID of "Plants" or "Fungi". These identifiers are making it easier for other people to find your observation. Many experts use the taxonomic filters to focus on their taxon of expertise, so if you post an observation of a plant with no identification, these experts will never find it. People adding coarse IDs are almost always trying to help you get more specific IDs.

Hope you find this useful... Jim
