[nysbirds-l] Iceland & Lesser Black-backed Gulls @ FBF Kings co.

[Andrew Baksh]

Amidst the thunder and lightning which was very, very frightening. I ventured 
forth from "Queens" for a short bit of Gulling in Kings.

Highlights were: 2 Lesser Black-backed Gulls (1st CY and a 4th CY type).

1st CY Iceland Gull (Kumlieni).

All observed at Floyd Bennett Field (FBF) in Brooklyn NY.

others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence." ~ Frederick

at Dorchester Park in Whitney Point. The bird was with a bunch of
Bonaparte's Gulls and at times on the parking lot of the boat launch.
The bird was an adult in basic plumage.

[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 wiki click the 'Overview' link on the 'Explore a
Location' line:
— http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

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

*Sullivan County:*
Snowy Egret (13-May-1978)

*Tioga County:*
Dunlin (1-Apr-2017)
