    Hi there,
           =20
            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.=20

            Cheers,
