Hi All;

I cannot recall if anyone posted this forecast to NatureNS, but just 
in case. . .

Here is the link to the annual Winter Finch Forecast produced by Ron 
Pittaway of the Ontario Field Ornithologists.    It deals with 
Ontario, and so may be more or less applicable with what may happen 
here in Nova Scotia, but it is worthwhile reading.   The forecast 
also discusses three other irruptive species, Red-breasted Nuthatch, 
Blue Jay, and Bohemian Waxwing, as well as northern owls.   It did 
not discuss Boreal Chickadees, which staged a major southward 
irruption in Quebec this past month.

Here is the link to the report.  Enjoy.
