A 5-Mile Radius Patch is simply a birding patch with a 5-Mile Radius centered on your home.
Here is mine centered on my home very close to Evergreen Cemetery, Portland, Maine. I have a number of great birding hotspots in my radius, including the aforementioned Evergreen Cemetery, but also Capisic Pond, Gilsland Farm Audubon Center, River Point Conservation Area, and Mackworth Island.

Edit: I have recently created this map which shows my 5-Mile Radius Patch with all of the eBird locations within which I have visited. There is more information about this map on my page about creating a map from your eBird data, which will be posted shortly.

Very nice list. It would be interesting to see it in taxonomic order. Have you started making lists of the species you are missing and trying to find out where you can see them? I just found out that a friend had some Burrowing Owls in my radius yesterday. I know what I am doing this evening. Lol.
Good luck with the Burrowing Owls.
I haven't started to make a list of the species that are missing, that is a great idea. It will give me some goals for the coming year. This is the first year that I've kept track of my 5-mile radius patch, so next year I'll really start to hone it in. I haven't put then into taxonomic order yet, but that is easy enough with eBird.
One thing I was thinking about was creating a list of the eBird hotspots within my radius and trying to get as many of them as possible up to 100 species and then once that was done shooting for 150 for each of them and then trying to get them up to 200. It might be a fun birding goal for next year.
