[nysbirds-l] eBird.org: Recent Additions to County Checklists

[Ben Cacace]

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: 10 days

Green represents a New York State first and yellow highlights a species
added for the first time over the past few weeks. Red represents species
removed from the New York State list. Removed species may've been recently
reviewed or the list(s) they are associated with are hidden from view.

*Cayuga County: *
Green-tailed Towhee (10-Feb-2018)

*Fulton County: *
Lesser Black-backed Gull (2-Feb-2018)

*Lewis County: *
Purple Gallinule (25-Jan-2018)

*Putnam County: *
Snowy Owl (23-Jan-2018)

*Wayne County: *
Crested Caracara (1-Feb-2018)

[nysbirds-l] eBird.org Location Life Lists

[Ben Cacace]

I found it's not very obvious how to get your life list for a hotspot
(shared location) or region on eBird. To access this feature I've been
going to the 'Overview' page for each location. In the right column you'll
see your statistics under 'Top eBirders'. If you are in the list of top
eBirders (image #1: left) you can click the # of species you've seen to
view your list (image #2). When you're outside the top 10 there's a line
labeled 'You'. Clicking the # will bring up the same list (image #1: right).

On the NYS eBird Hotspots you can click on 'Overview' or to go directly to
the list click on:

• 'My State Life List' on the NYS page
• 'My County Life List' on all 62 county pages
• 'My Location Life List' for wiki pages that exist (currently 1,805 out of
6,045 locations)

Click on the map or the alphabetical list of counties to navigate the site:
• http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Link for images: http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/LocationLifeList

Here are the steps to get there directly via eBird.org:

For the county, state, province or country 'Overview' pages:
• Click 'Explore' near the top of the eBird.org home page
• Select 'Explore a Region'
• Type in the county, state, province or country in the search box
• Go to the Top eBirders section and click the # in the green bar by your
name or 'You'

For any of the hotspot 'Overview' pages:
• Click 'Explore' near the top of the eBird.org home page
• Select 'Explore Hotspots'
• Type the location name in the search box
• Click on 'View Details' in the pop-up box
• Go to the Top eBirders section and click the # in the green bar by your
name or 'You'

[nysbirds-l] Linnaean Society of NY Program, Tuesday, February 13th, American Museum of Natural History, NYC

[Richard Fried]

On Tuesday, February 13th, the Linnaean Society of New York’s 2018 Speaker 
Program will feature two new presentations:

6:00 pm – Carolus Linnaeus and the Naming of Everything – Anita Sanchez
 
Carolus Linnaeus, the great eighteenth-century naturalist, named and classified 
more than twelve thousand species of plants and animals. As a physician, he saw 
the need for a clear and simple system of nomenclature and classification for 
plants used for medicine, and then went on to set himself an ambitious goal: 
naming all the living things in the world. His classification of humans as just 
another species of mammals was highly controversial; his use of a “sexual 
system” to classify plants based on their reproductive parts was outrageous. 
But the obstinate and outspoken scientist battled his critics fiercely, all the 
way to the Vatican. Author Anita Sanchez will discuss her research on 
Linnaeus’s life and the process of writing a book for young readers about the 
great naturalist’s turbulent career.
 
7:30 pm – Tracking Whimbrels: Movement Toward Full Lifecycle Conservation in a 
Migratory Shorebird – Dr. Bryan Watts
 
Maintaining migratory species that depend on many countries scattered over 
large geographic areas is one of the great conservation challenges of our time. 
Success depends on 1) identifying the network of critical sites and 2) managing 
site-specific threats. Prior to the development of size-appropriate satellite 
telemetry, very little was known about migration pathways or connectivity for 
Whimbrels using the Western Atlantic Flyway. Since 2008, Dr. Bryan Watts and 
his research team have deployed 50 satellite transmitters on Whimbrels 
throughout the flyway to identify migratory routes and critical staging areas, 
and to link specific breeding and winter territories. Watts and his team have 
used the gathered data to build a prioritized blueprint for conservation. The 
clear, emergent message of this work is that Whimbrels connect many locations 
and cultures throughout the Western Hemisphere and that their recovery depends 
on our ability to bring this community of cultures together around a single 
goal.

Both presentations are free and will be held in the Linder Theater on the first 
floor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.

All welcome!
 
Complete details of these exciting presentations and the rest of the 2018 
program can be found here:
