One thing with personal locations is that they cannot be queried by any of the eBird.org at levels below the individual county like this < http://ebird.org/ebird/hotspot/L3238737 > for the 'West Village, Manhattan' hotspot.
If you wish to merge your personal location with an existing hotspot here are the steps: — Sign into eBird.org — Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel — Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) & click "Edit" — Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons — Make sure the checkmark is selected for "Delete after merging" — Click the icon that best fits your location — ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along with the # of checklists you'll be merging — Click on the 'Merge' button — Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot with this process. -- 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/ --
