Hi All,

With the recent addition of Yellow-headed Blackbird (video-taped in 
Port William yesterday), and the Vesper Sparrow on Cape Sable Island, 
the Nova Scotia winter list has reached 200, just the third time 
we've reached this benchmark, though we won't be setting any new record.

Still, new additions remain possible.   If we can pin down the 
possible Sharp-tailed (or Seaside) sparrows that were seen at 
Daniel's Head and Conrad's Beach, and if someone can winkle out a 
Long-eared Owl, Gray Partridge, or King Eider, the list could grow a bit more.

The winter web site is:

We are in second place among the Canadian provinces reporting (all 
but Ontario).   BC is at 235, while Quebec is third with 186, though 
that total includes 9 species of exotic escaped birds, so it really 
is only 177.

Good birding, and enjoy the depths of winter,
