When you did this challenge, I counted 155 in my circle - Burnet and Braker
area. There were trees then, now there is Google, Amazon, etc., and a soccer
stadium!!!

"Of the gladdest moments in human life, methinks, is the departure upon a
distant journey into the unknown lands. Shaking off with one mighty effort the
fetters of Habit, the leaden weight of Routine, the cloak of many Cares and the
slavery of Home, one feels once more happy."
- Sir Richard Burton, 1872, Zanzabar; City, Island, and Coast

I think its time for another Texas Local Patch Challenge. We had one in 2016
where the goal was how many species could you find in your local patch. We
defined a local patch as a 7.5 mile radius circle centered on your home (same
as a CBC circle). Its a great way to discover fun birding locations close to
home.In 2016 I set up a FB group for this interested in the challenge at
https://www.facebook.com/groups/texaslocalpatchchallenge/ why There we share ;
some of our fun discoveries and of immediate interest ways to draw a circle so
you know on a google map what's in your patch.eBird has feature called Patch
Totals (Explore tab) Great a patch using the public and personal hotspots that
are in your patch and eBird does all the work on keeping the totals for
you.Stay safe, stay close to home, and have some fun, eBird says I'm already at
85 species in my local patch for 2020. What's your total?
