Hi All;

We've had some recent updates to the winter list.

Tufted Duck in Pictou Co.
Short-eared Owl in Pictou Co.
N. Saw-whet Owl in Pictou Co.
Common Redpoll in Pictou Co.
Field Sparrow
Harris's Sparrow in Lunenburg Co.
Gray Catbirds (two reported)

These bring the total to 197 for the winter, just above our long-term 
average of 194, and within striking distance of 200.    There are a 
couple of species that were reported every winter since I started 
keeping track a decade ago, but have yet to be reported this 
winter:  Long-eared Owl and Gray Partridge.

Other species are still possible.  The following are reported most 
winters, and should be looked for: King Eider; Thayer's Gull; 
Gyrfalcon; Sharp-tailed Sparrow; and Rusty Blackbird.

The Winter Bird Page is:

If you have any personal totals to report, please pass them along to me.

All the best,
