When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the date the species was added by county. Some are from newly submitted checklists from several months/years ago.
It isn't possible to spot these additions from old checklists. On the 'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species wasn't added recently it won't appear at the top of the list. For each county on the wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a Location' line: — http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few months. *Bronx County:* Pink-footed Goose (23-Dec-2016) Ross's Goose (14-Jan-2017) *Herkimer County:* Least Bittern (30-Jun-2010) Stilt Sandpiper (5-Oct-2012) Baird's Sandpiper (18-Aug-1999) Little Gull (31-Aug-2000) *Madison County:* Little Blue Heron (25-Aug-2006) *Oneida County:* White-eyed Vireo (2-Jun-2002) *Richmond County:* Painted Bunting (13-Jan-2017) *Suffolk County:* Calliope Hummingbird (18-Nov-2016) *Westchester County:* Painted Bunting (8-Jan-2017) -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC Wiki for NYS eBird Hotspots <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York> Facebook Discussion for NYS eBird Hotspots <https://www.facebook.com/groups/NYeBirdHotspots/> -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
