After this weekend I count 17 patches over 100 species of bird, and 9
more in the 90's knocking on the door of 100. Those who are active on
our little Facebook group (now 162 people!) are reporting how much fun
they are having exploring their local area and finding some good birds
close to home.
Myself I'm having a blast slipping away for 2-3 hours once a week for
some birding without burning a tank of gas. I can't wait to start
hunting migrants after work in a few weeks.
If you are curious about how everyone is doing we have a document that
lists a large number of totals on Facebook at
http://www.facebook.com/groups/247047528758661/doc/247205308742883/ if
you would like to check it out.
You're only competing with yourself in the challenge, so if you want
to participate you can out as much or as little effort into it as you
want.
Our Facebook group is at
http://www.facebook.com/groups/247047528758661/ and if you want to
help setting up your "patch" circle, check out the files tab for some
documents on how to define your circle and track it on eBird.
