Thank you John for pointing this out. There are a few species that were =
common in past years, dwindled, and then seem to be picking up again. =
These are usually breeding birds though.=20
=20
I am interested in hearing from others here re past Towhee observations =
in the time frame you mention. It is not a bird that slips by unnoticed. =

Subject: [NatureNS] Eastern Towhee
=20
Our first overshooting Eastern Towhee was seen yesterday at a feeder in =
Gaetz Brook, HRM. Slightly earlier than in 2014-2017. The only winter =
reports for this species were in the Grand Pre area, likely all of the =
same bird. See the NSBS Spring First Arrivals table =
http://nsbirdsociety.ca/library/resources/spring-first-arrivals
=20
I feel the E Towhee is soon to be one of our NS breeding birds. =
It=E2=80=99s favoured shrubby habitat plus tolerance of humans prime it =
for easy range expansion.=20
=20
As always corrections, updates and additions to the SFA table are most =
welcome.=20
