Just for my own amusement today I created an iNaturalist project that shows
all the TBRC review list birds submitted to iNaturalist. Its pretty fun to
see all the pics gathered together.

If you are an iNaturalist user you need do nothing to contribute other than
upload your media. Any review list species in Texas will be added
automatically.
iNaturalist in kind of an all species version of eBird, although it does
not capture checklists but individual records. Think of it more like
virtual museum collections. You have the media (picture or audio),location,
date, and observer.
iNaturalist lets you upload a photo without an identification and the
community will confirm your id or add additional ID information. I think
the potential for some rarity popping from a none mainstream observer is
great, so this project also serves as surveillance too.
