Description

The 2nd of 2 cats found consuming a dead Sylvilagus floridanus (Eastern Cottontail) cub, belonging to a nest which was raided (very likely by one of them) earlier that day. The other individual was likely the culprit given that they were filmed investigating the nesting site, appearing to already be aware of its existence.

these little ball things in a dead pigeon's neck? i thought it looked almost like it was from a plant but it would make sense if it came from an insect after it had been dead already? i'm really not sure but it seems irregular to me so it makes me think it's from something other than the pigeon itself.

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.

Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.

That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
