Re: Does anyone have a (semi-)official NYC checklist ? - - Seeing Berna's post to this list and part of what the NYSOA website includes in the "Checklists" pages therein, I see:
http://www.nycaudubon.org/kids/birds/ In looking at this one checklist made available on-line claiming to be for N.Y. City as a whole it is unfortunate that while it may include the vast majority of species that occur regularly or annually in NYC, a great many well-documented vagrants and other rarities are oddly left out and the entire list is a bit in question when an entry for "Connecticut Yellowthroat (a typo most likely!) is allowed, as there is no such species nor even subspecies, is a part of the listing. It may be the closest thing to a complete list of the birds of N.Y. City that is currently available on-line. What of infamous ebird.org? well, good "twitch-fre"e list-making...
