A quick scan of the patches already in eBird show all kinds of sizes, from
a yard to most of a state. Actually these patches are much
more compatible in the spirit of the patches as defined in the eBird
guidelines because each is exactly the same size.
Clearly the patch tools being used in all sorts of ways it was never
intended for, but which it seems to work quite well for.
