When you mark "obscured" location on @inaturalist.bsky.social, it puts your pin in a random spot. It's important that our data is accurate for scientists & others to use.

Switch observations to "open" location. To not show an exact spot, make the circle bigger & put the center over a public place.

Thank you all for finding 15,434+ observations of 1,703+ species & counting for #CityNatureChallengeABQ 2025.

We have 2 jobs for you (due end of Sun.)

1) Finish adding observations!

2) Help ID!
