Hotspots for eBird bar charts September 1 – 7
9:34 pm
Greetings,
One more hotspot (Fleet Street) is now complete!
Despite how late it is in the year, at least one checklist yielded a Confirmed breeding code for the California Bird Atlas – a somewhat late in the season breeding confirmation for Northern Mockingbirds. A good reminder to continue to pay attention. Although the bulk of breeding activity for the year is behind us, some species are still actively breeding, and phenological outliers (late/early breeding) are valuable data!
If you’re just joining us, see this message for an explanation of these weekly hotspot lists: https://groups.io/g/SanDiegoRegionBirding/topic/hotspots_for_ebird_bar_charts/119585667
As the heat promises to be slightly less excessive, I am not omitting any hotspots from next week’s list.
