Hi there, I agree with Wayne Neilly that this listing business is a particular form of madness. It began with my simple curiosity about what species of birds are to be found here in February. However, I am sure if I were a good biologist I could work this up into an exercise in determining the distribution and species-richness of birds under rigorous winter climatic conditions ... Thank you to those who have contributed sightings and updates to NatureNS or the NS-RBA, or sent them to me privately. Here is a consolidated list of species reportedly seen so far this month in Nova Scotia. Cheers, Patricia L. Chalmers Halifax Nova Scotia Depths of Winter List 2007 1 ... Canada Goose 2 ...
