Brush, There is a tremendous amount of low hanging fruit in both Clay and Stephens counties, and for nearly all of the surrounding counties as well. Whimbrel, btw, is a great bird anywhere in North Central Texas! As far as Ebird, I review those counties and the filters are currently set rather conservatively so there may be some annoyances in your future. The vast majority will be promptly accepted. The filters are a work in progress, mainly due to a dearth of good data. Good stuff!
