The weather forecast is excellent with sunny weather predicted everywhere in the province and temperatures of 14C in the south at Cape Sable Island to 9C at Cheticamp and Sydney in the north. My sense this year is that our birds are all returning right on schedule. Warblers are beginning to stream in as well as early flycatchers and swallows, and of course the big waders are beginning to appear everywhere. The south west winds of today and tomorrow could bring in lots of stuff just in time to be counted. This count is about adding to our provincial knowledge and understanding of the seasonal migration trends and well being of our birds and like all statistical data bases ours becomes more useful and reliable over time. Participation by as many people as possible adds to the diversity and reliability of the results. If you have only one feeder to watch or but an hour to stroll in your local park, by all means do it, and jot down what you see and hear and send it in. All data is used and appreciated. Last year over 700 folks contributed to this effort. Participation is easy, just contact your provincial coordinator, regional representative or me to volunteer yourself for a route to walk, feeders to watch or night birds to listen to. Ad hoc and last minute participation is OK too! Forward your tally to me and I will send it on to your regional coordinator or I will tabulate your results myself if your county does not have a regional coordinator but be sure to provide details of the route and area you birded. It doesn't matter how long you count or where, just be sure to let your regional coordinator or me know the details. This year I've added an online reporting form to the website for the convenience of those that prefer to use this type of system http://www.hanstoom.com/NAMC/OnlineDataEntry.html . I've also added a short form for submitting information on rare bird sightings http://www.hanstoom.com/NAMC/OnlineRareBirdReport.html . Both forms are also on the home page of the Nova Scotia Migration Count Website. These online links are excellent for local distribution to feeder watchers and adhoc observers. The website for the count is http://www.hanstoom.com/NAMC/Index.html. Here you can find all the information and forms needed to participate and all of our historical records to date. So,....good luck on Saturday and have fun!
