All (or at least 95%) of the Hotspots on the texascenturyclub.org website are
attached to their respective Hotspot Explorer map locations on the eBird site.
This continues the "dream" of making the Texas Century Club site not just a
self centric statistical site, but ALSO, a portal for birders exploring
counties they may not be familiar with. In addition, links to the new all
encompassing eBird "Location Explorer" page for each county is also set up.
This new eBird tool is quit useful for keeping up with the latest reports for
each county. Even those that aren't Hotspot related.
We're hoping others get involved in this organic site. Adding their own
ideas to counties they've birded. Example of a Big Day summary set up by David
Sarkozi for Chambers County will hopefully inspire others to write a similar
synopsis for counties they know well. Also Anthony Hewetson's views for
"attacking" obscure counties such as Loving would be helpful for all 254
counties. Again this site could be so much more than just a numbers game. The
more you put in the more you get out of it - type of a thing. Editing on the
mediawiki page is much easier than one might think. Even for those who think
they know nothing about the web.
Also there are fun creative activities that are developing. The latest
is what I would call "Map art". A couple of developing ways to portray your
county prowess via colored maps. Check the latest at texascenturyclub.org or
