Hello Anna;
Let me add a big welcome from the President of the
Nova Scotia Bird Society!
The NSBS has a quarterly magazine in which we compile
sightings of birds from around the province. We'd be
delighted if you took a moment to report your
sightings to us as well as putting them on NatureNS.
We do monitor NatureNS, but it's so easy to miss some
of the sightings reported here.
Go to our website: http://nsbs.chebucto.org
When the home page opens up, you'll see a list of
links on the left-hand side. The 6th one down is
"Send Reports".
It's a one page, user friendly, "fill-in-the-blanks"
report. We'd love to get this information from you
and everyone else on this list!
Happy Birding!
Suzanne Borkowski
NSBS President
