County totals have been updated for all county pages. This includes the total number of species with the equivalent color code based on the eBird.org map. The alphabetical list on the home page has also been updated with total spp. #. *Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These include 207 pages representing a total of 634 hotspots. Updates involve # of species and color codings based on # of species along with updated 2015 periods on the bar chart tables to display the Month: Jul/2015 and the current two month period Jun. - Jul./2015.

For New York County (Borough of Manhattan) all hotspots have links to shared location pages. *Bar Charts*: On all county and location pages there's a table for selecting any month or season along with several time frames for the current year. Clicking any of these will bring up a complete list of species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a list of species for all months click on the name above the months i.e. 'New York State (467 spp.)'. *Mapped sightings*: After bringing up a list of species with bar charts you'll see a MAP button to the right of the species name.
