On the SFA table I am mainly noting the first confirmed sightings. It is int=
eresting to see how early the overshoots have been- can=E2=80=99t wait to tr=
ack the Warblers. I believe all the sightings like Ken=E2=80=99s below are r=
ecorded by being posted here or being listed in his eBird checklist (the bes=
t way) in the ongoing Spring Arrivals database explained on the table page. U=
ltimately that is the important spreadsheet where all species are being trac=
ked, those that overwinter and others - the compilation of observations of t=
he G Egret numbers, locations and length of stay. It is hard to figure out e=
xactly how many we have in NS at the moment- they move around, get double co=
unted etc but it must be somewhere b/t 7-10. Wonder when we will see our fir=
st breeding Great Egret in NS?
