The wiki pages for NYS eBird hotspots have been updated for the month of Mar/2015. These pages provide supplemental information and easy/direct access to many eBird.org pages. These pages are aimed at providing additional details for the hotspots covered.
The pages on the wiki cover each of the 62 counties. There are 15 counties that have pages covering individual hotspots for a total of 207 pages for 741 hotspots. This is roughly 20% of the 3,800+ hotspots for all of New York State. The counties that have hotspots pages are highlighted in gold and green in the alphabetical listing towards the bottom of the home page. Updating the pages includes updating the species number on each the tables for the hotspots, counties and for New York State. The color coding that highlights each county and hotspot location is also updated. These colors are based on those used on the eBird.org maps and range from gray to blue to green to yellow to orange to red from lowest to highest # of species. A new species has been added to the New York State totals (currently 465 spp.) but since this new state species is not a recent find it is not easy to determine the species. I will track the NYS current species to easily determine what is the next addition. Here's the home page location. You can get to each of the counties through a clickable map or an alphabetical list of counties. The NYC area is grouped at the end of the list: http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York Here's the hotspot page for Sapsucker Woods, Tompkins County: http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Sapsucker+Woods Enjoy! -- 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/ --
