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 HYPERLINK
"http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/other/nswinter.htm"http://www3.ns.sympa
tico.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,
