Hot Spots – for eBird first week of August, Friday August 1 – Thursday August 7 – 16 Hot spots only need one checklist
1:56 pm
Greetings
Finishing up maybe our best best week yet. 46 of the listed 49 hot spots were visited and checklists submitted.
This upcoming week shows the work that the San Diego Birding community has accomplished over the past 8 months. 16 Hot Spots only need a checklist this week to have at least one for each week of the year. In addition 8 more Hot Spots are down to just 2, so a checklist this week and the next time they come up they can join the group of Hot Spots that have at least one checklist for each week of the year.
Also this week and for the next 5 weeks we’ve increased the number of Hot spots on the list to 60. Traditionally August has been the slow month of the year and it’s reflected in the number of Hot Spots that can use a checklist. In fact this week the list of 60 only includes Hot Spots with 7 or fewer weeks remaining. In the past we’ve gone up to 10 and sometimes 15 weeks remaining and had a much smaller list.
