Additions to the 2009/2010 Winter List | ||
| Note: The date specified on the left is the date when I added the species to the list and unless otherwise specified, it is also the date when the species was observed. | ||
| Mar 15, 2010: | Carolina Wren / Troglodyte de Caroline | Chipman - Minto CBC period (David Christie informed me of this sighting on Mar 15) |
| Feb 10, 2010: | Lark Sparrow / Bruant à joues marron | Moncton (Janet MacMillan - first seen on Feb 4) |
| Feb 6, 2010: | Northern Saw-whet Owl / Petite Nyctale | Sunny Corner (west of Miramichi), Red Bank / Sunny Corner CBC (Andy Stewart - heard during CBC period) |
| Jan 12, 2010: | Red-bellied Woodpecker / Pic à ventre roux | Memramcook (Evelyn LeBlanc - reported on Jan 10 but has been coming to feeders for several weeks) |
| Western Meadowlark / Sturnelle de l’Ouest | Alma (Doreen Rossiter - Jan 4 to Jan 6) Note: I added this species based on the fact that photos taken by Nelson Poirier strongly point to this bird being a Western Meadowlark. This does not actually raise the species total for this winter as there had been an unidentified meadowlark seen earlier in the winter period (I will keep the unidentified meadowlark sp. on the list but it will no longer be counted in this years total because we now have a meadowlark identified to species and the unidentified bird could be of the same species) |

| Dec 13, 2009: |
On Feb 28, 2009, David Christie had sent me an email with some additional winter list
birds which were seen during the 2008/2009 Christmas Bird Count period. I had
read the message but must have been busy with something at the time so put it aside
to deal with in the next few days and I ended up forgetting all about it. David's email included a very detailed description and a sketch of an immature Broad-winged Hawk that he and Mary Majka had observed in their yard in early December 2008. He also mentionned that another Broad-winged Hawk was reported during the Cape Tormentine CBC by Greg Campbell and Kate Robinson. Additionally, his email also included sightings of a Bluebird species seen briefly by Ted Sears during the St Martins CBC but he only saw it from the back and was unable to identify it to species. There was also a Palm Warbler seen by Sean Blaney during the Sackville CBC and a Mew Gull seen during the Bathurst CBC count period by Roger Guitar, Claudine Roy and John Kowtaluk. This increases the 2008/2009 winter list total to 166 species.
