When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I'll compare the previous bar chart list of species with the current one picking up any additions or deletions. 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 Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few months. Red represents species removed from the New York State list. *Albany County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Albany>* Wilson's Phalarope (14-Aug-2017) *Chenango County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Chenango>* Stilt Sandpiper (13-Aug-2017) Pine Grosbeak (28-Dec-1985) *LeConte's Sparrow renamed from Le Contes's Sparrow* Dutchess County, Genesee County, Jefferson County, Kings County, Monroe County, Oswego County, Queens County, St. Lawrence County, Suffolk County, Sullivan County & Tompkins County *Thayer's Gull removed and lumped with Iceland Gull* Albany County, Allegany County, Broome County, Chautauqua County, Cortland County, Erie County, Genesee County, Kings County, Madison County, Monroe County, Niagara County, Onondaga County, Orleans County, Oswego County, Schuyler County, Seneca County, St. Lawrence County, Steuben County, Suffolk County, Tompkins County & Wayne County -- 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/> -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME.htm http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES.htm 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://birding.aba.org/maillist/NY01 Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
