[nysbirds-l] eBird Hotspots: Recently Added (New York County)

[Ben Cacace]

I've been looking for a way to show where new hotspots have been created by
county and decided to display them on a Google Map that shows all hotspots
and personal locations. A new marker (persimmon colored circle) denotes a
recently added hotspot.

Hotspots (separated by # of checklists):

   - *New:* Persimmon circles
   - *Top 80%:* Fire brick teardrops (55.4K lists)
   - *Bottom 20%:* Teal teardrops (15.1K lists)

Personal Locations:

   - with *10 or more* checklists: Gold flags
   - with *less than 10* checklists: Gray dots

Google Maps: Recent Hotspot Additions (New York County)


Let me know if you're having issues navigating the map. You can search for
a location and select '*Highlight all matches from my map*' from the drop
down list. If you do this for 'Central Park' you'll see a few outlier
personal locations. One is on Governors Island. We look to fix these when
they're found by contacting the owner of the location.

If you wish to merge any of your personal locations with an existing
hotspot here are the steps:

— Sign into eBird.org
— Go to "My eBird" & select "Manage My Locations" in the right panel
— At the bottom of the screen click "Show All" to see all locations on one
page
— You can sort the list by clicking on any of the headers: Location,
Country, State/Province, County, Type* or # of Checklists
— Select your personal location (it will show a letter "P" under Type*) by
clicking "Edit" on the right side of the line
— Select the "Merge" button and you'll see all nearby hotspots as red icons
— Keep the checkmark for "Delete after merging" selected
— Click the icon that best fits your location
— ... now you'll see the hotspot description above the 'Merge' button along
with the # of checklists you'll be merging
— Click on the 'Merge' button
— Answer Yes to the 'Yes or No' query

All checklists for that personal location will be combined with the hotspot
with this process.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pacific loon query

[Andrew Baksh]

Gary Strauss just called to report that the Pacific Loon is being seen at the 
Town Marina in Oyster Bay. It was a bit noisy where I took his call so please 
forgive the scant details on the location.

Cheers,

Currently viewing the Pacific loon from the long pier at the western end of
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park. No red-necked grebe as of yet.

Re: [nysbirds-l] Pacific loon query

[gabriel willow]

 Someone sent me a photo of it this morning around 8am. Yesterday afternoon it 
was hiding out in the enclosed dock area to the east at the end of the private 
marina. It would disappear for ~20min at a time, perhaps sheltering underneath 
the docks, and then pop back up, but was sometimes hard to see among the docks.
Good luck if you go!

To my knowledge, the loon was last seen around 1:30 off Florence Ave. It had 
spent maybe 4 hours going back and forth between a cove to the left and a bit 
beyond the end of the pier just to the left of the viewing spot. It showed no 
inclination to go anywhere beyond, but I’d think the falling tide might have 
forced it to change that pattern a bit. From all appearances so far, it seems

Re:[nysbirds-l] County & State Listing - Send in your 2018 Data

Hey Listers!

 

The NYSOA (New York State Ornithological Association) County
and State Listing Project is accepting data for 2018. If you
want to get your numbers into the 2018 report, don't miss
the March 1 deadline. Data may be submitted online at
http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html, via fax, via email,
or via USPS. 

 

If you're new to this and would like to know more, please
read on.

 

The County and State Listing Project is a fun, friendly
competition run by NYSOA. Started in 1992, it continues to
attract new participants every year. Some of our first
county listers have not missed a single year since the
beginning (watch out, you might get hooked!). 

 

Berna Lincoln's objective in setting up this LIFE LIST
competition was to encourage birders of all levels to get
out and bird the many habitats of New York State and report
their sightings throughout the year to local clubs and
NYSOA's regional editors. Today eBird is added to that list.
The state, county, and regional life list competitions
inject some additional fun into the important "work" of
birding and reporting the birds we see all over NYS.

 

So here's how it works. After the close of each calendar
year, participants send in their LIFE list totals for all of
NYS, the 10 Kingbird regions, and/or the 62 counties, and/or
the PELAGIC ZONE (PZ) that was added just last year. In
addition, we have one YEAR list category - for the entire
state. You can send in just one number or as many as 75, or
anywhere in between - it's your choice depending on where
you've birded and what records you've kept. A compilation is
produced annually and published in NYSOA's newsletter and
also on the NYSOA website at
http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. Forms, a map of the
ten Kingbird regions, and details on the new Pelagic Zone
are available on that web page also.

 

Join in on the fun and see where you stand - statewide,
region by region, county by county - in comparison with
other birders all over the state (and even outside the
state). To see what the annual compilation looks like, check
out the archive at http://nybirds.org/ProjCountyLists.html. 

 

But don't miss the deadline! And remember, no reports
submitted in previous years are automatically carried into
the next. If you want to be listed, you must submit your
report, even if your numbers haven't changed since the last
one you sent in. 

 

If you've already submitted your 2018 report, thanks! 

If not, I await your data with bated breath!

Carena Pooth

NYSOA

 

PS - The fine print:  The only requirement to participate is
that you be a 2019 member of NYSOA, or one of NYSOA's member
clubs, or the NYS Young Birders Club.
