Fantastic job…these maps will be of great benefit to many Texas birders.

I've finally finished the maps comparing eBird records with the maps in the
Texas Ornithological Society Handbook of Texas Birds, 2nd Ed. There are 75
multi-layered maps for quick comparison to related species. Here's the link
to the page of links on the Texas Century Club site.

I designed these maps to find what species are missing on eBird from with in
their normal range. Also which species show up in counties outside of their
range.
Thanks to Eric Carpenter for coming up with scripts to help me get this thing
finished a little faster.
Though I did take a break to put together the County Big Days page also on
TCC Site. I've gotten about 100 entries from 16 birders. The list is starting
to fill out. Chambers is the first county with the top ten Big Days above 100
species. Many counties still don't have 10 Big Days above 25. (the minimum
set to make a list). Here's that page btw:

If you have any Big Days that could fit on this list send them my way.
Take Care Stay Safe.
