[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Sep/'18)

2018-09-03 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
send them to me off list.

All County pages currently have links for the *Illustrated Checklists* and
links to both *Images and Audio from the Macaulay Library*.

Species totals have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with an equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of
counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 926 pages representing a total of 1,906 out of 6,280 hotspots
(30.4%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2018 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the:

• Current Month: Sep./2018
• Prior Month: Aug./2018
• the current two month period Aug.-Sep./2018
• along with the current year: 2018

For the following counties there are individual 'dynamic' wiki pages for
the Top 10+ locations at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga,
Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Westchester
and New York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations
linked to wikipages.

Counties with 'static' pages do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for the Top 10+ locations and includes Albany,
Bronx, Broome, Chautauqua, Clinton, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex,
Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, Oneida,
Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Rensselaer, Rockland, St. Lawrence, Saratoga,
Sullivan, Ulster & Wayne with Putnam County currently having all shared
locations linked to wikipages.

An alphabetical list of all hotspots (6,280) can be found on a single page.
Links exist for any hotspot with a wikipage. Clicking the county name to
the right of any hotspot will bring up the county page showing all county
hotspots. A link to the alphabetical list page is at the bottom of this
message. There is a link to the page at the top of the New York State page.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and Top 10+ location pages
there's a table showing the months, seasons and several time frames for the
current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (489 spp.)' or 'New York County (324 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Niagara Falls State Park in Niagara County with its 4
locations.

*Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird
checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional
details are in this email sent to the list <
https://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg20153.html >.

Tide Graphs exist for *New York County*, *Kings County (Brooklyn)* and
*Richmond
County (Staten Island)*. There's a quick link to the tide graphs on the "Go
To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are multiple
graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or west/east. If
you spot any issues please let me know off line.

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State,
County or location.

Check out '*My Location Life List*', '*My County Life List*' and '*My State
Life List*' links to bring up your details on the respective pages.

For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.

smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
send them to me off list.

All County pages currently have links for the Illustrated Checklists and
links to both Images and Audio from the Macaulay Library.

Species totals have been updated for all *county pages*. This includes
the *total
number of species with an equivalent color code* highlighting the county
name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of counties
on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 913 pages representing a total of 1,878 out of 6,157 hotspots
(30.5%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2018 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the:

• Current Month: Jun./2018
• Prior Month: May/2018
• the current two month period May-Jun./2018
• along with the current year: 2018

For the following counties there are individual 'dynamic' wiki pages for
the Top 10+ locations at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga,
Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Westchester
and New York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations
linked to wikipages.

Counties with 'static' pages do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for the Top 10+ locations and includes Albany,
Bronx, Broome, Chautauqua, Clinton, Columbia, Delaware, Dutchess, Essex,
Genesee, Greene, Hamilton, Jefferson, Livingston, Madison, Oneida,
Onondaga, Ontario, Orleans, Rensselaer, Rockland, St. Lawrence, Saratoga,
Sullivan, Ulster & Wayne with Putnam County currently having all shared
locations linked to wikipages.

An *alphabetical list of all hotspots* (6,157) can be found on a single
page. Links exist for any hotspot with a wikipage. Clicking the county name
to the right of any hotspot will bring up the county page showing all
county hotspots. A link to the alphabetical list page is at the bottom of
this message. There is a link to the page at the top of the New York State
page.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and Top 10+ location pages
there's a table showing the months, seasons and several time frames for the
current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (489 spp.)' or 'Niagara County (320 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Tonawanda WMA in Niagara County with its 16 locations.

*Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird
checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional
details are in this email sent to the list <
https://www.mail-archive.com/nysbirds-l@cornell.edu/msg20153.html >.

*Tide Graphs* exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and
Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on
the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are
multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or
west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know[ off line **].

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State,
County or location.

Check out '*My Location Life List*', '*My County Life List*' and '*My State
Life List*' links on their respective pages.

For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Mar/'17)

2017-02-28 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed to access data on eBird.org and in places
it includes additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels. If you have any suggestions for additional links please
send them to me off list.

*Species totals* have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with an equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on colors used on eBird maps. The alphabetical list of
counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 534 pages representing a total of 1,143 out of 5,455 hotspots (21.0%).
Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species # along
with updated 2017 periods on the bar chart tables displaying the Current
Month: Mar./2017, Prior Month: Feb./2017 and the current two month period
Feb.-Mar./2017 along with the current year: 2017.

For the following counties there are individual wiki pages for the *Top 10
locations* at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga, Erie,
Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. *Westchester
and New York (Borough of Manhattan) Counties have all shared locations*
linked to wikipages.

Counties with *'static' pages* do not need to be maintained on a monthly
basis. These include pages for at least the Top 10 locations: Chautauqua,
Bronx, Hamilton, Jefferson & Onondaga. *Putnam County has all shared
locations* linked to wikipages.

*Bar Charts (Species Lists)*: For all county and top 10 location pages
there are tables showing the months, seasons and several time frames for
the current year. Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list
of species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a

2016-11-29 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

The wiki page site was developed for accessing data on eBird.org and
includes additional links to birding resources at the county and location
levels.

Species totals have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with the equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on the colors used on eBird's maps. The alphabetical list
of counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 380 pages representing a total of 860 out of 5,274 hotspots
(16.3%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2016 periods for the bar chart tables displaying the
Month: Dec./2016 and the current two month period Nov. - Dec./2016 along
with the current year.

For the following counties there are individual wiki pages for the *Top 10
locations* at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga, Erie,
Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau and Suffolk Counties. For
Westchester County and New York (Borough of Manhattan) County all hotspots
have links to shared location pages.

*Bar Charts* (Species Lists): For all county and top 10 location pages
there are tables showing the months, seasons and several time frames for
the current year. Clicking any of these will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (473 spp.)' or 'Delaware County (223 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: State, Counties & Locations Updated (Sep/'16)

2016-09-04 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time reviewing shared location suggestions.

This message relates to the wiki pages I've developed to access data on
eBird.org including additional links to birding resources at the county and
location levels.

*Species totals* have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with the equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on the colors used on eBird's maps. The alphabetical list
of counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 319 pages representing a total of 779 out of 5,124 hotspots
(15.2%). Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species #
along with updated 2016 periods for the bar chart tables displaying the
Month: Sep./2016 and the current two month period Aug. - Sep./2016 along
with the current year.

For the following counties there are individual wiki pages for the *Top 10
locations* at the top of the list of shared locations: Cayuga, Erie,
Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn),
Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties.
For New York County (Borough of Manhattan) all hotspots have links to
shared location pages.

*Bar Charts* (Species Lists): For all county and top 10 location pages
there's a table showing the months, seasons and several time frames for the
current year. Clicking any of these will bring up a complete list of
species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a
list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e.
'New York State (472 spp.)' or 'Clinton County (260 spp.)'.

*Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the
right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also
exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with
the location i.e. Unity Island (aka Squaw Is.) in Erie County with its 4
locations.

*Tide Graphs* exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and
Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on
the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are
multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or
west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know off line.

Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders.

Check out 'My Location Life List', 'My County Life List' and 'My State Life
List' links on their respective pages.

For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a
Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a
public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can
refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.

2016-01-12 Thread Ben Cacace
Thanks to @Team_eBird for their dedication to keeping eBird.org running
smoothly and for the group of New York State hotspot moderators for their
time working on shared location suggestions.

** New to the New York County (Borough of Manhattan) page are maps in the
links section at the bottom of the page which includes a Google Map of
local raptor sightings in Lower Manhattan including American Kestrel
(purple), Red-tailed Hawk (red), Peregrine Falcon (gray) and Cooper's Hawk
(orange).

*Species totals* have been updated for all county pages. This includes the
total number of species with the equivalent color code highlighting the
county name based on the colors used on eBird's maps. The alphabetical list
of counties on the main page has been updated with total spp. #.

*Hotspot pages*: All location pages have been updated on the wiki. These
include 212 pages representing a total of 663 out of 4,299 hotspots (15%).
Updates involve # of species and color codings based on species # along
with updated 2015-2016 periods for the bar chart tables displaying the
Month: Jan./2016 and the current two month period Dec. - Jan./2016 along
with the current year.

*Tide Graphs* exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and
Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on
the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are
multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or
west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know off line.

For the following counties there are pages for the *Top 10 locations* at
the beginning of the list of shared locations: Cayuga, Erie, Monroe,
Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins, Kings (Brooklyn), Queens,
Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties. For New
York County (Borough of Manhattan) all hotspots have links to shared
location pages.

tables showing months, seasons and several time frames for the current
year. Clicking any of these will bring up a complete list of species and
other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a list of species
for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e. 'New York State
(471 spp.)' or 'Cayuga County (303 spp.)'.

*Map of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP
button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of
the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days.
Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on
'Checklist' to view their submission.

Click 'Overview' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of
all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the
Top eBirders.

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots - State, Counties Locations Updated

2014-12-09 Thread Ben Cacace
The county and location pages have been updated on the wiki. Updates
involve # of species and color codings based on species # plus updating the
2014 periods on the tables to display the Month: Dec./2014 and the two
month period Nov. - Dec. 2014.

For the following county pages the Top 10 locations appears at the top of
the list: Cayuga, Erie, Monroe, Niagara, Orange, Oswego, Seneca, Tompkins,
Kings (Brooklyn), Queens, Richmond (Staten Island), Nassau, Suffolk and
Westchester Counties. For New York County (Borough of Manhattan) all
hotspots have location pages.

On all county and location pages there's a table showing the months,
seasons and several time frames for the current year. Clicking any of these
will bring up a complete list of species and other taxa with bar charts
representing abundance. To see a list of species for all periods click on
the name above the months i.e. New York State (460 spp.).

After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP button to the right of
each species which will display a map of the latest sightings. Red icons
show sightings within the past 30 days. Click on the icons to see who
reported the species then click on 'Checklist' to view their full list.

Click around. Check out 'My Location Life List', 'My County Life List' and
'My State Life List' links. Click 'Overview' on any of the pages to bring
up a sortable list of all species along with the latest checklists
submitted and a list of the Top eBirders. Click on 'Directions' to bring up
a Google Map page. Clicking 'Directions' on Google Maps then 'Transit' will
plot a route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can refine your
search. Works with 'Driving' and 'Walking' too.
