When I work on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar chart list of species with the current one to pick up any additions or deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the date the species was added for each county. Some are from newly submitted checklists from several years ago.
It is not possible on eBird.org to spot these additions from old checklists. On the 'Overview' page you can sort on 'First Seen' but if the species was added months or years ago 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 this year. *Cayuga County:* American White Pelican (12-Nov-2016) *Chenango County:* Cattle Egret (25-Oct-2016) *Delaware County:* Cackling Goose (30-Oct-2016) *Fulton County:* Cackling Goose (1-Nov-2016) *Hamilton County:* Surf Scoter (14-Oct-2016) *Otsego County:* Black-crowned Night-Heron (16-Oct-2016) Pine Grosbeak (19-Feb-2012) *Washington County:* Gray-cheeked Thrush (14-Sep-2015) -- 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 http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
