Is it possible on eBird to create a patch but not make it public? I would like to keep track of the species I have seen in the four counties of the Rio Grande Valley. But that's way too large an area to be considered a patch and I wouldn't want it to be the top patch on eBird ahead of true patches like Don Roberson's or Ned Brinkley's. Actually an entire county should not be considered a patch but I see people do it. Or is there any way to make a list from more than one location without declaring it a patch?
