Welcome to the 2021 Jan-Feb ID-a-thon!

Hello everyone!
The competition begins tomorrow. Remember, this is a marathon and not a race; the most important thing is to build up a daily habit, to have fun, and to learn along the way.

Rules were posted in the project journal.
Next post, coming soon, will include a link to vote on an additional category.
Links for relevant Identify pages / an explanation of the filters you can use to ensure your IDs will count towards your total will come later in a Helpful Resources journal post.

The first "week" will be from January 1st to January 9th inclusive, with results posted the following day (Sunday). Thereafter updates should be each Sunday.
That post will also include a link where you can see your "starting positions" for the primary competitive category, improve%.

Your hint for this week's mystery% is:
fail faster

ready, set, go :)

It’s 2021 here in NZ already, and I can let you know so far it’s good 😆

When I try to put observations that I have identified in this project, the drop down options do not include this project. What am I doing wrong?

Hi there!
Your identifications are registered automatically. You don't have to do anything to have them be counted.

The project is a collection project, not a traditional project, so there is no option to manually add observations.
The Project is essentially a subscription to ID-a-thon related journals, so the observations I put in are arbitrary. So I chose my cat :)
I only add an observation of my.cat when I hit an important milestone, so there's five so far I think

Can we all have our cats in the project?:)
