This sounds like a fun idea, I think I’ll give it a try. I’m lucky to have a lot of great birding areas in my circle – the lower Coralville Reservoir and dam area, Squire Point, Waterworks Prairie Park, Sugar Bottom Recreation Area, Big Grove Preserve, Turkey Creek Preserve, and parts of Hickory Hill Park, Lake Macbride State Park, and Macbride Nature-Recreation Area – which leads me to ask, why am I not birding some of these areas more??
I’m not a Facebook user, but I found the website of the person who came up with the 5MR Challenge: http://www.iusedtohatebirds.com/.
There’s a useful tool for mapping your circle here: https://www.mapdevelopers.com/draw-circle-tool.php.
And there’s a smartphone app called Count Circle which will tell you whether you’re in or out of your circle at any time, which will be useful when I’m wandering around Hickory Hill Park.
