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 Since last update: 28 days Green represents a New York State first and yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few months. *Allegany County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Allegany>* Cattle Egret (30-Oct-2017) *Bronx County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Bronx>* Mississippi Kite (21-Sep-2016) Stilt Sandpiper (18-Aug-2017) White-rumped Sandpiper (3-Oct-2017) Black-legged Kittiwake (5-Nov-2017) Black-headed Gull (2-Nov-2017) Kentucky Warbler (26-Apr-2017) LeConte's Sparrow (28-Oct-2017) *Cayuga County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Cayuga>* Brewer's Blackbird (24-Mar-1992) *Delaware County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Delaware>* Wood Stork (2-Oct-2017) *Erie County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Erie>* Marbled Godwit (27-Aug-1993) *Franklin County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Franklin>* Pink-footed Goose (8-Nov-2017) *Fulton County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Fulton>* Mute Swan (7-Nov-2017) *Lewis County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Lewis>* Dunlin (11-Nov-2017) *Montgomery County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Montgomery>* Black-bellied Plover (1-Nov-2017) Sanderling (1-Nov-2017) Dunlin (2-Nov-2017) *Saratoga County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Saratoga>* Laughing Gull (30-Oct-2017) *Schuyler County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Schuyler>* Black Scoter (14-Nov-2017) Great Cormorant (12-Nov-2017) Blue Grosbeak (12-Nov-2017) *Suffolk County: <http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Suffolk>* Corn Crake (2-Nov-1880) *[Wells W.
