Dovekies spend their winters far offshore, along the edge of the Slope Water south of us. If the gales extended that far, I would expect some inshore. Could be some other alcids too, sheltering in coastal inlets. If you want an Ivory Gull (who doesn't? ), pray for the Gulf of St Lawrence to freeze up and the ice to extend far south from the Labrador front. I don't think this low will help all that much.

I’ve seen this strategy work well in the fall. Does this same concept apply to the winter in NS? We are after the migration season for most birds. But can rare birds/vagrants end up here in the dead of winter? Should costal headlands be searched? Chris Peters
