We are now at 166 species
It is always good when I first post about the birds we are missing from the=
WBL so far because invariably I get tipped about several species that slip=
ped through the cracks for one reason or another. The most notable one that=
slipped by was not 1 Dovekie but 247 of them at Baccaro Point on Dec 6! Ma=
rk Dennis and Paul Gould had a great seawatch that morning and also had a P=
omarine Jaeger, Common Murre, Atlantic Puffin, 81 Razorbill and 90 Black-l=
egged Kittiwake and the first Northern Fulmar on the WBL. I would like to h=
ave showed up there that morning!
Additions since the last update:
American Woodcock =96 Marg Millard, White Point, Queens
Dovekie =96 Mark Dennis and Paul Gould, Bacarro Point
Northern Shrike =96 Mike MacDonald tipped me about a post (with photo) on f=
rom a Dec 3 sighting on the NS Bird Society Facebook page. I don=92t know w=
here or who the observer was.
Greater Yellowlegs - Charlene MacDonald, First South, Lunenburg (Dec 7)
Barn Swallow =96 Ken McKenna, Gull Island, Pictou. Only the 3rd time on our=
WBL
Blue-headed Vireo =96 Larry Neily, French Basin Trail, Annapolis. 4th year =
in a row
Cory=92s Shearwater =96 Ronnie d=92Entremont, west of Seal Island, Yarmouth=
. Only the 2nd time ever on the WBL. Another great lingering straggler from=
the mild start to winter.
I have to give Peter Brannon another plug for a incredible shot he took las=
t week that made it on to Flickr=92s Explorer page. Check out the Tricolore=
d Heron he snapped in Florida on Nov 28th. As of the time I write this, 11=
1,867 people and counting have viewed this photo.
