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 many 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 NYS eBird Hotspots site click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a Location' line: — http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York Green represents a New York State first and yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few months. *Chenango County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Chenango>* Black Tern (30-May-2017) *Orleans County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Orleans>* Laughing Gull (8-Jun-2017) *Saratoga County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Saratoga>* Chukar (8-Jun-2017) *— should be reclassified as 'introduced' bringing the total # down to 479 from 480 for N.Y.S.* *Schuyler County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Schuyler>* Ruddy Turnstone (27-May-2017) *Warren County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Warren>* Gray-cheeked Thrush (4-Jun-2017) *Wayne County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Wayne>* Laughing Gull (3-Jun-2017) *Otsego County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Otsego>* Snowy Owl (Removed) -- Ben Cacace Manhattan, NYC Wiki for NYS eBird Hotspots <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York> Facebook Discussion for NYS eBird Hotspots: Q & A <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/ --
