TexBirders,

I’d like to make a request of folks who have or are planning on doing some 
birding at the Striped Sparrow location in Williamson County (“Williamson 
Co.—CR428 & CR361”, recently added by John Berner).  Some folks who also birded 
at nearby Granger Lake have included long lists of waterbirds seen at the 
latter location in their checklist for the riparian woodland spot where the 
sparrow has hung out.  That offers a terribly confusing picture of what birds 
are in which location or are associated with what types of habitat.

If you have the time and have entered an eBird checklist for the Striped 
Sparrow and included sightings from more than, say, a mile away in 
substantially different habitats, please consider splitting your checklst 
accordingly.  There are already over a dozen eBird HotSpots, including one 
general one for “Granger Lake Area (HOTE 031)”, in the vicinity.  Zoom in on 
this map to see them:

or you may create your own personal location for a different area if needed.  
This will help future researchers using eBird data to understand distribution, 
occurrence, and habitat preferences better for birds in this diverse area.

Thanks!

Chuck Sexton
