Based on Andrew's report of the Common Teal (Eurasian form of Green-winged Teal) I checked to see if there's a shared location for this park in Queens and there wasn't. I just set one up and should be available in the system over the next 12 hours. If you'd like to merge a personal location already created with the hotspot you can do this once the shared location shows up:
To merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here are the steps: -- Sign into eBird.org -- Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel -- Select your personal location (shows the letter "P" under Type) & click "Edit" -- Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons - Click the marker that best fits your location (You'll see the hotspot description in the right panel) -- Click on the button "Merge # Checklists with [hotspot description selected]" -- Make sure to select "Delete after merging" -- Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot. -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
