If you are unfamiliar with the concept, here is a summary from Ryan Dudragne, of Saskatchewan, where winter listing is more a challenge than here in Nova Scotia "For those who may be unfamiliar with the concept, it basically involves a frenzied search during the first couple of weeks to squeeze in as many late migrants as possible before the onslaught of usually more severe weather conditions. Christmas Bird Counts often jack up our total, as do normal winter activities. Plus, it gives us birders something to do for the three slowest birding months of the year other than sitting idle on our hands until March. To me, at least, a winter list is great for maintaining birding enthusiasm, and gets a person active and out of the house to ward off the winter doldrums that tend to creep up mid season." The URL for the Nova Scotia Winter List is: http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/other/nswinter.htm There are links to the other provinces (and Iceland) that also play the game. And if you wish to keep track of your personal winter list totals, there is a page for that as well. We set a record for the province last year. What will this winter bring? Keep checking the web page, and please inform me of any additions to this winter's list.
