A thought: now that John has given us an idea of which hotspots in San Diego often go unused, why not adopt one near where we live or nearby where we regularly bird and make sure it gets birded once a week? If it's nearby it won't take much time to get there and by adopting a spot to bird regularly our statistics keep caught up.
I've made a list of ones near my house and hope to do just that this next year
Happy holidays!Ellen Feeney

Finishing up a pretty good week, a little over half of the listed hot spots were visited. Which is pretty good as some were in areas not normally visited.
Just a heads up that next week will be my last week of sending out these weekly lists. It’s been a fun time, the birding community has stepped up and a lot has been accomplished, but it’s time for me to move on to other projects. I will have a summary of accomplishments with next week's list.
Here’s the list and map for this upcoming week. 8 Hot Spots (highlighted in red) only need a checklist this week and they will have a full bar chart.
