Dan - For the second location, was it labelled Bentsen State Park? Â My rant is
that people enter one list for their day-long outing during which they might
have traveled all over creation. Â It sounds like Dell may have done that in
the past. Â I see some of it when looking at patch challenge reports. Â People
enter anything in their patch as one location centered on their home.

I agree with Dan. Iâve been going through the whole Texas Century Club
mediawiki site and linking hotspots to their respective locations on the eBird
hotspot map. Iâm rather guilty of my early county visits to just toss the
general county checklist together. At some point Iâm hoping to go back and
match current hotspots to their birds where I can with accuracy. The other
thing is there are a few (but not many) duplications. Iâll try to go back and
find them again and let John know. I believe John Bernerâs still the Texas
Hotspot czar. but I may be wrong.
