A hotspot for the American Avocet sighting on Manhattan was just created. It should appear in the system within the next 12 hours. This location is actually in Fort Washington Park. Here's a description from the NYC Parks site: from Riverside Dr., Hudson River, W. 155 St. to Dyckman St. < http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/fortwashingtonpark/highlights/11989 > and is not in Inwood Hill Park or Fort Tryon Park.
eBird Shared Location Name: Fort Washington Park--Dyckman St. Boat Marina If you wish to merge your personal location with this hotspot here are the steps: — Sign into eBird.org — Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel — Scroll down to your personal location (will show 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 above the map) — Click on the "Merge" button — Make sure to keep "Delete after merging" selected — Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot with this process.
