If you are reading this article, I assume that you are or plan to share your observations with both iNat and eBird.
Below are a set of directions that can help ‘link’ these observations.

1. Record observation – photo or sound clip

2. Share observations.
   a. Upload observation to iNaturalist. Note the iNat identifier.
   b. Upload observation/checklist to eBird. Note the eBird identifier.

3. Add note to observations.
   a. In iNaturalist add comment in the notes/description field. Example ‘This observation also shared with eBird [insert eBird identifier]
   b. In eBird add comment(s) to the checklist or as individual species note. Example ‘This observation (including photos) was also recorded on iNaturalist: [insert iNat identifier]’

4. Populate recommended observation field*. To indicate that the observation is shared with eBird simply share the eBird identifier: eBird [enter the eBird identifier]

*NOTE: Join the iNat project ‘eBird observations - Nova Scotia, Canada' and then associate the observation with this project. Observation fields associated with the project will automatically become visible simplifying the ‘add fields’ task. menos ↑
