Mammals of the Quabbin Updates

Some quick updates since it's been awhile,

Since launch on 12/01/2023, we've gained 37 members. This means that 21% of people
contributing to the Quabbin mammal observations have joined the project!

863 mammalian observations of 36 different species have successfully populated the project.
93.86% of all observations are at the Research Grade level observations, an increase from 88.27%.
The top 5 contributors are @lynnharper, @cbuelow, @btk, @bmaher222, and @zogspot.

We, as a group, have added more Quabbin mammal observations in a 7-month period than ever before!!! This makes our efforts feel truly worthwhile. iNaturalist is a fun app for documenting wildlife but also a vital tool for citizen science. Contributions from iNaturalist users have historically transformed wildlife ecology and our understanding of the natural world. If you have any mammal observations that haven't been uploaded yet, please add them!

Question: Since this project was started in December 2023, have you been inspired to upload more mammal observations and perhaps pay more attention to animals or sign when you're out in the field?

Thanks everyone and stay cool!
