Hi pat
Harriet Macmillan still had a Pine Warbler at her feeder in Lochaber, Ant. Co. as of yesterday. On Feb. 3, I had Barrow's Goldeneye at the Pictou Causeway and at Caribou R., Bufflehead at NSPC outflow in Trenton, Ring-billed Gulls and Iceland Gulls at Trenton, 2 Pintail at Trenton, A Pileated Woodpecker in Granton, and Northern Harrier at Caribou I.
Harry Brennan and I had 3 Gray Jays in Trafalgar area on Monday and Jean and Harry Brennan had 3 Red Crossbills at their feeder that day as well. Great Black-backed Gulls are common in the county. Some of the other birds seen locally were mentioned by Jim and Eric.
cheers
Ken

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
