Birdwatching: get and support the Merlin app. Its a great way to find out what birds live or pass through your area.

What does it mean that this bird is "likely in 4 today"?

Same with iNaturalist for plants and fungi!

My immediate assumption is that any observations made by me are meaningless noise and that I should avoid making them unless I see something really weird. But that could also be a problem because then it looks like shiny Caterpie is really common in this area while the regular one is rare. Do you know what behavior the creators of the app prefer?

I do not know, and I didn't find much on their site other than a few good practices listed here: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/community+guidelines

They do have a forum where etiquette questions come up, so that might be a good place to get a feel for it, e.g. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/inat-posting-etiquette-questions/15317/5

The main thing seems to be honesty about your observations (if you're unsure of an ID, note that) and be available for comments and corrections on your posts.

Good luck!
