Yippee! I didn't think my circle would be very productive, but I discovered that it JUST covers the Edinburg Scenic wetlands, where I go on my lunch breaks most every day! Definitely doable! :-) MB Mary Beth Stowe McAllen, TX _www.miriameaglemon.com_ (http://www.miriameaglemon.com/) In a message dated 1/2/2013 1:48:10 P.M.

My CBC-size circle will be centered on the intersection of Quaker Avenue and 36th Street in Lubbock. This will double as my game for the year of 2013 - I suppose a little less travel will give me a little more time to focus on painting the house and catching up on fifteen years worth of e-bird reports as well as saving some gas/money - and I will probably go with monthly updates. My goals for the year: 50 species of butterfly, 5 species of amphibian, 10 species of reptile, 250 species of bird, and 15 species of mammal.
