2019 Naturalist Goals
Here are my goals for this year. Some are eBird related and others are more linked to iNaturalist.
- eBird: Participate in the 2019 5-Mile Radius Challenge. My goal is to get at least 175 species in my patch.
- eBird: Get all of the eBird Hotspots in my 5-Mile Radius patch up to at least 50 species.
- eBird: Have at least 1 checklist a day and move my Complete checklists to over 3500.
- eBird: Complete all monthly challenges.
- eBird: Identify over 300 birds this year.
- iNat: Participate in the City Nature Challenge Sacramento Region with at least 1000 observations.
- iNat: Organize a Bioblitz for at least one day of the CNC.
- iNat: Observe at least 5 new mammal species this year.

I never thought about this kind of statement of goals. It's better than New Year's resolutions. Now you have me mulling over what I should be doing. Somehow I think I need to be a little more structured. :-/ All the best!
Peggy and I also discussed the resolution-v-goal question. It seems to me that goals are better, because you can make discernible progress even if you miss. So, @vermfly , if you get 990 observations on the CNC, it is not a failed resolution but a near goal.
Here's the link to the Five-Mile Radius - https://inaturalist.ca/posts/20418-5-mile-radius-2019-challenge
I have generated my five-mile radius map. It includes some excellent parks.
@gyrrlfalcon I'm already off and running. I saw 60 species yesterday in a couple hours in the afternoon. Are you in the 5mr Facebook group? I posted my map there already.
