All:

One advantage of having been around just short of forever is having a complete
run of "Nova Scotia Birds."

Our only Tufted Titmouse was found 16 May 1991 on Bon Portage I. and was well
dtailed by Peter Smith, its single experienced observer, in the July 1991 issue
(p. 17) of "NS Birds." Peter was then a prof at Acadia and managing its banding
station on BPI.

There has been a recent push of these (same drivers as Red-belliwed Woodpecker?)
into n. New England, so it's a good winter to look.  There is remote a
possibility of connfusion with Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (I saw it happen briefly
twice, until self-corrected by the beginning observers), but the rufous sides
wouldn't match.

All best, Ian McLaren
