Hi DJ and a warm welcome from me too.
I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I hope to hear about all the birds you see when out and about.

Hello and welcome to the forum, enjoy and all the best.
How does information on new birding hot spots get added?
You can see on eBird that Barnegat Light State Park in NJ has more sightings that some of the locations already listed on BirdForum like Cattus Island.
Do copyright laws prevent you from posting a pdf of the brochure?
Could a new member like me submit some of the information about the Park? Like the bird list for example?

Hi DJ
After a few more posts (4) you will no longer be classed as a 'new member' and will be able to play a full part in Birdforum, such as editing and creating articles in The Opus (at least I presume this is what you are referring to?
Alternatively, meantime, you could let me have the information you think should be in such an article, and I can do it for you.
This is a guide to the information we try to build each article up to: https://www.birdforum.net/opus/Editing_Help:Guideline_for_Location_Articles
Regarding copyright... information should not be copied and pasted from another source, but written in your own words. Links to PDF files are acceptable, but should be posted into either the References section or External Links, whichever seems most appropriate, at the bottom. I could show you how to handle that when you're ready.
Do let me know if you need any more help.
