Observations of the day

[Jeremy Hussell]

Thanks to the new sign-in page, I've seen a few observations where there are a comments along the lines of "This is iNaturalist's Observation of the Day! We've posted it to our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts." As someone who doesn't have a Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram account, is there some way I can view past observations of the day? I've been enjoying the observations of the week on the blog for quite a while, but had no idea there were more frequent updates hidden off-site.

Brainstorming: would it be possible to put the observation of the day on the sign-in page every day? Would it be possible to link to all the observations of the day from the past week in the weekly blog post?

There is!  They're collected in a project:

This is great! I didn't know it existed. I think it would be good to have it under the "Community" tab.

I've noticed a few Observations of the Day don't make it into the project. It looks like all the users who make the observations have to join the project, and some don't?

E.g. recent Obs. of the Day https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/14095573 and https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/15034503 aren't (yet?) in the list here https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&project_id=inat-observation-of-the-day&subview=grid&verifiable=any
