Hmm.it looks like we lost the functionality to reply directly to a poster
rather than the group in NatureNS?
Hi Angela,
NSBS would be the most thorough but not the easiest considering they would
have to be searched individually. Ian McLaren's, All the Birds is an
essential book for NS (and beyond) birder to have for info on our uncommon
and rare species though it may not help much for telling you where to find
them.
The quickest way to get good to excellent info is using eBird's Species Maps
found on their Explore Data page. Plug Nova Scotia in as the province and
type in a species (band code or name) and optionally a date/month/season. If
you're going to set a date, do it first because it resets the other options.
Here is an example of Specices Maps that returns the all-time sightings of
Tufted Duck which were eBirded in Nova Scotia. It shows Halifax and New
Glasgow as the hotspots for them, especially the former. It also shows the
spots where they were found -zoom in to view them. It helps to check Show
Points Sooner in the right side bar

B Haley found the first Tufted Ducks of the season for the previous two
winters at the little Horseshow Island Park on the NW Arm.

(188)
Hi Keith,
Great info. I had been thinking I would read back issues of the NSBS
newsletter to try to figure out where I might find species.
I found out on the Sewer Stroll last weekend that the Tufted Ducks could
show up in Eastern Passage so will keep an eye out here but don't really
know off the top of my head where I might find an Eastern Meadowlark
although this is a target bird for me.
That's awesome someone found a Purple Gallinule I didn't see it on eBird or
I might have zipped over there in the sunshine yesterday :)
Anyway, an idea of where and when to look would be good and I think the NSBS
newsletters are the best bet for that info? Or maybe a copy of Clarence
Stevens book "birding in Metro" if you can find a used copy?
Happy Birding,
Angela Granchelli
