Clicking any of these links will bring up a complete list of species and other taxa with bar charts representing abundance. To see a list of species for *all* periods click on the name above the months i.e. 'New York State (473 spp.)' or 'Dutchess County (279 spp.)'. *Maps of sightings*: After bringing up a bar chart list you'll see a MAP button to the right of each species. Clicking this will produce a map of the latest sightings. Red icons show sightings within the past 30 days. Click on the icons to see a list of who reported each species and click on 'Checklist' to view their submission. Click on 'Explore Rich Media' in the right sidebar to view locations with photos, audio or video. These also exist for any multi-location page combining the hotspots associated with the location i.e. Durand-Eastman Park in Monroe County with its 16 locations. *Printable Checklists*: a link has been created to produce an eBird checklist (PDF format) for all hotspots on the wiki site. Additional details are in this email sent to the list < https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg20153.html >. Tide Graphs exist for New York County, Kings County (Brooklyn) and Richmond County (Staten Island). There's a quick link to the tide graphs on the "Go To >" line highlighted in blue for each location. If there are multiple graphs on a page the left/right is generally north/south or west/east. If you spot any issues please let me know off line. Click '*Overview*' on any of the wiki pages to bring up a sortable list of all species along with the latest checklists submitted and a list of the Top eBirders. The default sort is for the latest additions to the State, County or location. Check out 'My Location Life List', 'My County Life List' and 'My State Life List' links on their respective pages. For each location page click on '*Google Map Directions*' to bring up a Google Map page. On Google Maps click 'Directions' then 'Transit' to plot a public transportation route. By clicking 'More Options and Times' you can refine your search. This also works with 'Driving' and 'Walking'.
