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 Since last update: 8 days Green represents a New York State first. *Chautauqua County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Chautauqua>* Inca Dove (8-Dec-2017) *Seneca County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Seneca>* Barnacle Goose (26-Nov-1987) -- 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/> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Eastern Long Island Update From: Gail Benson <gbenso...@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 19 Jan 2018 13:26:30 -0500 X-Message-Number: 2 The Pink-footed Goose continues at Deep Hollow Ranch (Montauk).
