Where, when and what are people observing in the US?

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about how international iNaturalist is. Piggy backing on that. I thought it might be interesting to do a deep dive into each country. For example, here's a map of the US which shows the number of observations spread out regionally. In each region, the top observer is shown.



Similarly, this is how the number of observations has changed over time. Mouse over to see the top observer from each month.



Lastly, heres a breakdown of the groups of species that people are observing within the US. The top identifier for each group based on the number of identifications on these US observations is also shown.

This is awesome. Can you do one just for California? It would be interesting to see how the state where it all started looks.
