For New York State I've pulled the Top 20 hotspots and noted the percentage of species needing photos on the Illustrated Checklists (IC). The IC cannot combine hotspots as we can with Bar Charts. Images with a 'best quality' rating in the Macaulay Library get posted. You can view 'All Months' or each individual month for photos for that period.
To rate photos you can click on the camera icon with the # of photos to the far right of each species. If you're viewing 'Species w/ photos' I'd recommend right clicking on the icon and opening in a new tab to preserve the 'Species w/ photos' view in the original tab. Otherwise you'll need to choose 'Species w/ photos' again and find your place in the list when you press the back button. The list below shows: - the hotspot name with a link to the IC - total species seen - # of species *needing* photos - % of species *with* photos on the IC *New York State: Top 20 Hotspots* * The list is sorted by % of species with photos. *Central Park:* <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L191106/media?yr=all&m=> Total species: 259 Species needing photos: 76 Percent with photos: 70.7% *Prospect Park: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109516/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 290 Species needing photos: 86 Percent with photos: 70.3% *Myers Point: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L99615/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 261 Species needing photos: 85 Percent with photos: 67.4% *Stewart Park: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L99381/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 265 Species needing photos: 99 Percent with photos: 62.6% *Montezuma NWR--Wildlife Drive: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L267814/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 260 Species needing photos: 100 Percent with photos: 61.5% *Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L165143/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 306 Species needing photos: 142 Percent with photos: 53.6% *Floyd Bennett Field: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L152773/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 271 Species needing photos: 127 Percent with photos: 53.1% *Jones Beach SP--West End: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109147/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 306 Species needing photos: 145 Percent with photos: 52.6% *Jones Beach SP--Coast Guard Station: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109146/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 276 Species needing photos: 157 Percent with photos: 43.1% *Hamlin Beach SP: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109143/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 272 Species needing photos: 187 Percent with photos: 31.3% *Marshlands Conservancy: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109149/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 263 Species needing photos: 186 Percent with photos: 29.3% *Derby Hill Hawk Watch--North Lookout: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L166701/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 284 Species needing photos: 208 Percent with photos: 26.8% *Dreier-Offerman Park: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L351189/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 256 Species needing photos: 188 Percent with photos: 26.6% *Jones Beach SP: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L167247/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 310 Species needing photos: 228 Percent with photos: 26.5% *Montezuma NWR (general area): <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L246782/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 261 Species needing photos: 196 Percent with photos: 24.9% *Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge--West Pond: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109145/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 288 Species needing photos: 221 Percent with photos: 23.3% *Hamlin Beach SP--Parking Lot No. 4 (Primary Lakewatch site):* <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L139811/media?yr=all&m=> Total species: 278 Species needing photos: 220 Percent with photos: 20.9% *Robert Moses SP:* <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L268000/media?yr=all&m=> Total species: 297 Species needing photos: 237 Percent with photos: 20.2% *Montauk Point SP: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L109151/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 263 Species needing photos: 249 Percent with photos: 5.3% *Fishers Island: <https://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L3562597/media?yr=all&m=>* Total species: 259 Species needing photos: 258 Percent with photos: 0.4% -- 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/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/ --
