Hi there,
There's nothing like posting a list to get lots of
additions! As I expected, many of you have promptly reported more
birds to add to the list, so I have updated it. It's great to hear
that the Varied Thrush, some of the warblers, and the Bullock's
Oriole are still hanging in there, though it seems to have been
harder for shorebirds and sparrows. From now on, I expect the
additions will come in more slowly, so I will not update the list
again till the end of next week. Thanks to Blake for incorporating
this list into his Nova Scotia Winter Bird Sightings at
http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/maybank/other/nswinter.htm.
I think during the doldrums of winter this is an interesting
exercise to remind us of how diverse our winter bird population really is.
Cheers,
Patricia L. Chalmers
