"sans-serif";color:black'>Over the winter white-throated sparrow Today (Monday) is the first day I have heard White-Throated Sparrows singing in the various Xmas tree farms and clearcuts along the Lakeview Rd, nr E Dalhousie, Kings Co where I have always encountered lots of them. So here, at least, they seem to be just arriving. Also heard my first N Waterthrush along the river in the same area today. They are definitely much later than usual, by about 2 weeks.

I've almost completed the stats for the North American Migration count for Lunenburg County. One field participant to report yet. On my route numbers of white-throated sparrows were very low. Overall from everyone else who participated numbers were way down. I've had some emails also from people about why no white-throated sparrows are being seen. In my travels out birding I've noticed few of these birds about. What is the concensus across the province on this. I would be most interested to see if this species has gone to other counties in numbers for nesting denoting the reason for few about in Lunenburg County or if this might be a province wide trend. > > Also, of concern to me was the low number of boreal chickadees with only one and extremely low numbers of house sparrows. I haven't taken the time to see if there are trends from previous years on other species yet. > > James R. Hirtle > LaHave
