[nysbirds-l] Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge East Pond Access update.

2017-07-22 Thread Andrew Baksh
Just a few minutes ago, Don Riepe and I had a discussion on the fence situation 
at the southend of the East Pond.

We concluded that there is no point in waiting and that visitors should access 
the Pond by walking around the fence, while NPS work out the issues. 

Please be mindful that Call Ahead Trucks are parked right near the fence so 
exercise caution when coming and going.

Unless you are like the intrepid Steve Walter, I would recommend knee high 
boots when visiting the East Pond

Good Shorebirding!

[nysbirds-l] NYS eBird Hotspots: Illustrated Checklists & Macaulay Links

2017-07-22 Thread Ben Cacace
Links have been added to the NYS eBird Hotspots webpages for Illustrated
Checklists and access to the Macaulay Library for All images and All audio.
All images & audio includes "unconfirmed" items so you don't need to wait
for the moderator to approve these species.

Links were added to all 62 counties. These links can be added to the NYS
page and all the hotspot pages but I'll wait for any feedback before
expanding the scope.

For Illustrated Checklists you can change the view from All species to:
- Species w/ photos
- Species w/ audio
- Species needing photos
- Species needing audio

On the Macaulay Library links you can change the filters by selecting "More
Filters" and you can view any individual species by typing into the "Enter
species name" box.
