Hi Patricia:

Great Job with the list!

I'd like to add I've had a Common Redpoll @ my feeders on and off with a
couple of P.Finch and Pine Siskens. these birds join the 150-200 AG Finch
every few days since early Jan.

All the best
Tom K

> Hi there,

> Thank you to those who have contributed bird sightings and updates to
> NatureNS or the NS-RBA, or sent them to me privately.  I have compiled a
> consolidated list of species reportedly seen in February, the "depths of
> winter", in Nova Scotia this year.  As expected, species diversity
declined
> from the beginning of the winter, when there were still many vagrants and
> lingering migrants around.
>
> The total list of species seen in Nova Scotia this winter (1 December to
> 28 February) compiled by Blake Maybank at
> http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/other/nswinter was an impressive 204
> species; 151 species, or almost 75%, were still present in the past
> month.  This is a similar ratio to the reports from Manitoba, where 101
> species were seen this winter, and 72 species during the month of
> February.  I was curious to see how we would compare; thanks for indulging
> my curiosity.
