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. http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York *Monroe County* Ontario Beach and Charlotte Pier (174 spp.) Highland Park, Rochester (162 spp.) *Nassau County* Tobay Beach Park (199 spp.) Lido Beach Passive Nature Area (164 spp.) Mill Pond Park, Bellmore (152 spp.) Muttontown Preserve (150 spp.) *Niagara County* Bond Lake County Park (140 spp.) Dietz Rd.
