Let me know if you need any other help. You can view all the missions at the missions tab on the top. They are organized by global and local. Mine is a local mission covering the Midwestern United States (not enough unfortunately since you can only get 300 sq miles in a circular fashion) but it's close to covering the Midwest.

If you click that link you will go to the mission and then you can "Join the Mission". Once you join you can go back to your spotting and then Edit Spotting. Then you will find any mission you have join in a drop-down menu from the Missions.

You will also see where you can add the scientific name and link to wikipedia if you want.
