Couldn't see enough field marks on some

  • Helmitheros by Helmitheros

    On some of the penguins in this photo I could not see enough field marks to be sure they were Gentoos, so I left them unmarked. They probably are, but you never know, sometimes you see a different species in amongst a majority of another.

    Hi @Helmitheros

    Please, read the FAQs before you continue classifying. There are many important details how to classify like the one that you don't have to ID the species!! There is actually no way to tell which species of penguin is present in the image in the classification process. The only information which is recorded is whether the penguin is adult or chick. The penguin species you can switch among which are below the classified images are only a guide to help you recognize chicks from adults for each species.

    Hope it makes sense to you know. Please, do read the FAQs before you continue to avoid mistakes..

    Thank you very much for your hard work. No need to worry that you made something wrong. Each images is classified by many more users 😃

    Cheers,
