@motherpurina , I don't see Oscar's observations in the project. Has he uploaded them yet? What's his user ID?

I asked him to upload his observations after our patrol. I haven't heard back from him. Unfortunately, I don't know his user name on iNaturalist.

@merav, do you have Oscar's contact info?

Posted by truthseqr about 2 months ago

email: oscarmace@gmail.com. I did email him yesterday, to which he replied. He told me that he had uploaded his observations from 3/27, and would be uploading the observations from 3/21 shortly.

@motherpurina, thanks for Oscar's contact info. His observations from 3/27 are not in the project. Do you know if he was trained how to upload them and add them to the project? I'll contact him and urge him to upload all observations. We're sending March data to UC Davis for analysis at the end of the month.

@motherpurina, @merav, I found Oscar's ID (@olmace). He uploaded his observations, but they weren't added to the project. I added them.

Thanks, Anne. I'll email him as well regarding the observations and the journal post.
