This is a multipart message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0027_01CF4E67.F6F2D0A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Some might be interested in this new database that is available online. Phenology is the study of the seasonal timing of biological events or phenomenon. A group is working on compiling the records of ornithologists and naturalists from the period of 1880 to 1970 about the arrival and departure dates of birds. So far there are 641 records from Nova Scotia going back as least as early as 1887. For all species in one area in one year it lists: first arrival, next arrival, when most common, last seen, breeding status, lat/long. I see mainly common birds listed for NS but it would certainly show us something about the effects of climate change on our bird populations. If interested go to: https://www.pwrc.usgs.gov/bpp/data_download/BPPData.cfm I believe they are also recruiting volunteer participants to work online to transcribe data into the database. ------=_NextPart_000_0027_01CF4E67.F6F2D0A0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html xmlns:v=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" = xmlns:o=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" = xmlns:w=3D"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" = xmlns:m=3D"http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" = xmlns=3D"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"><head><meta = http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"><meta name=3DGenerator content=3D"Microsoft Word 14 = (filtered medium)"><style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:"Comic Sans MS"; panose-1:3 15 7 2 3 3 2 2 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0cm; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:blue; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:purple; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-language:EN-US;} @page WordSection1 {size:612.0pt 792.0pt; margin:72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt 72.0pt;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext=3D"edit" spidmax=3D"1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext=3D"edit"> <o:idmap v:ext=3D"edit" data=3D"1" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang=3DEN-CA link=3Dblue = vlink=3Dpurple><div class=3DWordSection1><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Some might = be interested in this new database that is available online. = <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Phenology = is the study of the seasonal timing of biological events or = phenomenon.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>A group is = working on compiling the records of ornithologists and naturalists from = the period of 1880 to 1970 about the arrival and departure dates of = birds. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=3DMsoNormal><span = style=3D'font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>So far = there are 641 records from Nova Scotia going back as least as early as = 1887.
