[nysbirds-l] A start to the seasonal canvassing of the "Golden Trapezium": "The game is afoot" !

[robert adamo]

Today, in response to Ken Feustels post of 8/21, I checked out the east
Riverhead sod farms on Doctors Path, Sound Ave and Northville Tpke, finding
only swallows & starlings at those locations. Driving east on Sound Ave to
view some of the construction going on at the North Fork Preserve, in
Jamesport, I did have a group of 4 turkey vultures as they circled
overhead. On my way home, I had the following species on the DeLea Sod
Farm, s/s Sound Ave, about 1/2 way between Roanoke Ave & Doctors Path: 33
large plovers, probably all Black-bellied, although I only saw 6 fly; 32
Killdeer and 24 Semipalmated Plovers.

Cheers,
Bob

[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 NYS eBird Hotspots
 site click the '
Overview' link on the 'Explore a Location' line to see a list of all
species sorted by 'First Seen':
• http://ebirding-nys.wikispaces.com/Birding+in+New+York

Since last update: 12 days

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