Subject: [NatureNS] Update to the Blake Maybank Winter Bird List (173)
We picked up 3 more species to bring us to 173
The new ones are:
=95 Snowy Owl, only one person wrote about the discussion of includin=
g the two (at least) that are in rehab, on the WBL but it was good as Ian =
McLaren weighed in that he believes they should be counted. After Ian=92s e=
mail I had the felling that I better double check the ABA rules and I disco=
vered that I=92ve been operating under a false belief about a ABA rule all =
along. There is also question about whether WBLs even follow ABA rules but =
that is another discussion. For some reason I thought injured birds did not=
qualify but I should have known better because I knew oiled birds were cou=
nted. Here is the ABA rule in question:
(ii) A wild bird that is injured, sick, oiled, or otherwise incapacitated m=
ay be counted.
So both Snowy Owls would have qualified as a sighting by the people =
who found them and brought them to rehab.
=95 Yellow-throated Warbler, found today by Randy Laugh at a feeder n=
ear Bayfield, Antigonish Co. Now (11 out of 14 years)
=95 Brant, found by Johnny Nickerson on CSI
