Welcome to Project Noah! This is a great community and I hope you enjoy it here.
Since you know the species in your spotting (and many of your other spottings) you should add the scientific name. Without the scientific name, your spotting is considered unidentified. Most scientific names of organisms can be found with a quick internet search (for example you can do a search for "Mourning Dove scientific name" and it will give you results with several web sites including the scientific name Zenaida macroura).
If you have not done so already, I recommend that you read through the FAQ page for the general guidelines for posting. There is also some information on other features of the site. You can find the FAQ here: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq
