Subject: [NatureNS] Depths of Winter List of Birds - First Week of
February 2008
Hi there,
Peter's post about the depths of winter reminded me that a few
people had asked me if I would compile a "Depths of Winter" bird list again
this year. This list complements Blake Maybank's Nova Scotia Winter Bird
Sightings at http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/other/nswinter.htm. While
some of the birds on that list were lingering migrants and vagrants who
didn't stay around once winter set in, the Depths of Winter List records
those tough birds which are still here in February. The following list
includes all birds mentioned in NatureNS, the NS-RBA, or which I have seen
myself or heard about from others since the first of February. Many common
species haven't been mentioned lately, so no doubt there are lots of gaps
here. We also haven't had any recent status reports on some of the
rarities; is the Varied Thrush still being seen? How about those warblers
which Liz asked about?
Please send me additions, and I will update the list once a week.
Last year 151 species were reported. There are six species already this
year which were not reported in February 2007, including Red-bellied
Woodpecker, Townsend's Solitaire, Fox Sparrow, Eastern Meadowlark, Common
Redpoll, and Hoary Redpoll.
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers
