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

2018-07-30 Thread 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: 9 days

Yellow highlights a species added for the first time over the past few
weeks.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspot: Hosted on wikispaces

2018-07-30 Thread Ben Cacace 
If you've seen the following message <
http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/FarewellPage > from wikispaces where NYS
eBird Hotspots is currently hosted I want to let you know that the site
will continue to be hosted there through 28-Sep-2018 when wikispaces
terminates operations. I'm looking to move the pages to wordpress.org
hosted on SiteGround at some point before this.

If anyone has any experience with wordpress.org I'm looking to find a
template that can work with widgets that contain pure HTML. I've developed
a system on Excel to convert all the code (HTML etc.) based on a few inputs
like hotspot IDs / names, county names, Google Map URLs etc. making it easy
to keep each page consistent with the others with a minimum amount of
coding. All the work is done up front building out the Excel models.


Thanks for any information you can pass on about working with wordpress.org

[nysbirds-l] Jul 29 Great Gull Island shearwaters

2018-07-30 Thread Nick Bonomo 
Hi all, yesterday there were some 1,800 shearwaters off the south side of
Great Gull Island. The bulk of the concentration was 1.3 miles southeast of
the island. Great, Cory's, Sooty and Manx in descending abundance. Also a
few Parasitic Jaegers working the tern flocks. Surprisingly, no Wilson's
Storm-Petrels.

Some photos here (scroll down):

[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay WR Tricolored Heron and Wilson's Phalarope, Queens County

2018-07-30 Thread David Barrett 
We just reported

https://twitter.com/BirdQueens/status/1023955949835505664

that a TRICOLORED HERON, found by Ilenne G, is being seen now from Bench 4
of the Jamaica Bay WR West Pond along with the continuing WILSON'S
PHALAROPE -- both tweeted by Jean Shum, who suggests you will want to bring
a scope.

We relay many reports throughout the day (eight yesterday) from Jamaica
Bay, all Queens, and Long Island, so follow @birdqueens on Twitter or view
