[Ben Cacace]

The county pages with the Top 10+ locations listed at the top of each  page
have been reviewed for 42 out of 62 counties. There are changes in 7
counties. Twenty counties are pending a Top 10+ list. Please note that all
hotspots for NYS are accessible from the web pages. Those without a
dedicated hotspot wiki page are linked to eBird's 'Hotspot Explorer' page
centered on the hotspot. These locations are preceded with an asterisk (*).

The locations promoted to Top 10+ below are preceded with a plus (+) sign.

*BROOME COUNTY (TOP 10) *
(+) Greenwood County Park — The hotspot for 'Whitney Point MUA' was merged
with 'Upper Lisle County Park' based on input from the county reviewer.
'Greenwood County Park' moves into the vacated position.

*BRONX COUNTY (TOP 10+2) *
(+) 'Jerome Park Reservoir' at 58 spp. passes 'SUNY Maritime College (Fort
Schuyler)' at 51 spp. which was previously in 11th position. The county has

[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations Reviewed (NYS eBird Hotspots)

[Ben Cacace]

For the wiki pages the Top 10 locations (single and grouped sub-locations)
have been reviewed for Monroe County. The locations promoted to top 10 are
highlighted green. The sites that were moved out of the Top 10 still have
pages dedicated to them but they're static meaning they don't need
maintenance except for informational links added to the bottom section of
the page.

I broke up the wikipage called 'Braddock Bay Complex' since it was
potentially hiding too many good birding locations.

[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations Reviewed (NYS eBird Hotspots)

[Ben Cacace]

For the wiki pages the Top 10 locations (single and grouped sub-locations)
have been reviewed for Monroe County. The locations promoted to top 10 are
highlighted green. The sites that were moved out of the Top 10 still have
pages dedicated to them but they're static meaning they don't need
maintenance except for informational links added to the bottom section of
the page.

I broke up the wikipage called 'Braddock Bay Complex' since it was
potentially hiding too many good birding locations.

[nysbirds-l] Top 10 Locations Reviewed (NYS eBird Hotspots)

[Ben Cacace]

The top 10 locations have been reviewed for the top 15 counties. The
locations highlighted in green have been moved to the Top 10. The sites in
yellow were replaced but still have pages dedicated to them. These pages do
not need to be updated on a monthly basis making it possible to expand the
site to many more locations. There are no changes to the top 10 for the
following counties: Cayuga, Erie, Kings, Oswego, Tompkins, Westchester and
New York Counties.

One of the main differences on the top 10 pages are the 'Notable Finds'
showing the top 20 species seen at that location. When you click on the
name of the bird a map displays with the location centered. Checklists
including that species can be viewed by clicking on the icons. Red icons
are for sightings of the species within the past 30 days.
