When working on the NYS eBird Hotspots wiki I compare the previous bar chart list of species with the current one to pick up any additions or deletions. By going to each county's 'Overview' page you can determine the date the species was added for each county. Some are from newly submitted

At 1:16 PM a basic plumage PACIFIC LOON flew east past the bluffs at Camp Hero SP (Suffolk Co.) and rounded the point passing out of view. A search from several vantage points along the northside of the point failed to re find the bird. There are a lot of Red-throated and Common Loons in the area
