I have updated the NS Winter Bird List, located at the following URL:

http://tinyurl.com/nswinter

Given the recent harsh weather (with more to come?) I invite you to 
post additions to the DOWL, ie, the "Depths of Winter List", which 
comprises those species seen during the month of February, arguably 
the month with the least welcome weather and the most difficult 
birding conditions.

I've done a quite check of the species reported to NatureNS and the 
NS Rare Bird Alert, and marked the species on the winter list.   The 
current DOWL total (which was not done last year) is very low, so 
there are many opportunities to add to it.   Send a message to 
NatureNS with DOWL in the subject line if you wish to notify me of 
additional February species.

Keep in mind that this is very much an "unofficial" list -- it is 
maintained simply for the fun of it, and to encourage people to get 
out birding at this time of year.

Good winter birding,

Blake
