New England States
This website serves as a database for information describing eBird hotspots. Eventually, we hope the information collected can be transferred to the eBird website. While all of the hotspots in New Hampshire are described, we are just beginning to collect information on nearby states.
This week I added sections to the website for these New England states:
Connecticut
Maine
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Vermont
All of the county pages have been created for these states.
On each county page, most of the links to hotspots are to the eBird website. These links are in plain text. When there is a page in this website with more information, the link to the hotspot appears in bold.
For example, this week Daniel McDermott sent me tips for birding two hotspots in Middlesex County in Massachusetts:
University of Massachusetts Lowell–Boathouse
Merrimack River behind Tsongas Arena
I have data to add to coastal locations in Connecticut and Rhode Island and several counties in Massachusetts. I will enter this information into the website as I have time.
Updates New Hampshire Hotspots

County Pages Updated
I have added a Google Map to each county page and rearranged the page so that the list of all the hotspots in the county is in the left column. This brings the list closer to the top of the page when you are viewing the website on a smartphone.
