Below is the cross check of species on the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation list of Species of Greatest Conservation (SGCN)need ( Endangered, or Threatened, or Special Concern ) with Cornell's Ebird records entered by Brooklyn birders from the last several years. I counted at least 9 SGCN species. Follow the color code.
(Note: the Ebird records is only the first sighting, not possible to list here what has been seen again afterwards , therefore there are more records )
Here's what been seen the last several years//Those species in RED BOLD are Endangered species; Orange are threatened ; or Bright Blue are special concern under the NYSDEC listing ( source : http://www.dec.ny.gov/animals/7494.html
Red= Endangered
Orange = Threatened
Bright Blue= Special Concern
