Nebraska eBirders,
(especially Cass and Douglas County birders)
I've made a couple of hotspot additions that might be interesting and/or useful.
First, I've added several sub-hotspots to Platte River SP <https://ebird.org/hotspot/L1192641/hotspots> in Cass County, including the most commonly birded area: Stone Creek Falls <https://ebird.org/hotspot/L66776043>. Since it is a large park, breaking it up into a few areas made sense to avoid the driving distance on checklists. It looks like some people are already using these more accurate locations, which is great!
Second (more important for county listers), I've added a second hotspot to Neale Woods <https://ebird.org/hotspot/L649790>. While Keegan and I were looking for Acadian Flycatchers yesterday in Douglas County, we realized we had actually hiked over the county line into Washington. I've added Neale Woods--Washington Co. <https://ebird.org/hotspot/L67778825> to handle this. The majority of Raccoon Hollow (Acadian Flycatcher territory) is actually in Washington County. The attached map shows roughly where the county line is.
