When a wildlife camera snaps a picture of an animal, that is an observation!  When you Upload Images in AIT, the system will analyze the set of images you are uploading, and create observation records for those images that contain animals.  Those records land in the Tagging Area where additional attributes can be added.  This page provide help on the process of uploading images, and explains what each field means in the context of the system.
