There are indeed many such platforms.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Two of the most popular European platforms are iGoTerra and Observation.org (I might have the quirky capitalizations slightly off).</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Here is a link to an excellent article about this very topic.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span class="ydpf65f1d92pasted-link"><a href="https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/carrieseltzer/6485-other-platforms-like-inaturalist" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Other platforms like iNaturalist ยท iNaturalist</a></span><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">The article has a link to a spreadsheet of dozens and dozens of wildlife listing platforms from all over the world, quite a few of which allow the user to list not just birds, but spiders, dragonflies, fish, and so forth. There is a wealth of information on the spreadsheet document.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I myself have tried iGoTerra, after it was recommended to me by some Swedish birders, but I could not make heads nor tails out of it. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">For my own purposes, I have been using a very clunky method, but one that sort of works. Since I use AviSys, I just created a series of AviSys codes, such as /M for mammal, /Am for amphibian, and so forth. That allows me to sneak in a listing of a non-bird in my bird list, so if I see an Eastern Grey Squirrel or a Bullfrog, I can make a note of it, and find it later by searching for the codes for mammals, amphibians, etcetera.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Yours truly,</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Gary Bletsch</div></div></body></html>
