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
