When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki comparing the previous bar chart list of species with the current one picks up any additions or deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can find the date the species was added for each 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. *Cattaraugus County:* Surf Scoter (20-Apr-2005) Red-throated Loon (13-Nov-2006) Common Gallinule (28-May-2015) *Delaware County:* Virginia Rail (19-Jun-1983) Long-eared Owl (6-Jun-1981) *Queens County:* Eastern Whip-poor-will (11-Sep-2016) *Washington County:* Glossy Ibis (27-Mar-2004) -- 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/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/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/ --
