Nov 26, 2018 169 species |
Common Shelduck / Tadorne de Belon | - Saint John (Kelly Honeyman, Samantha Brewster, Jim Wilson - Dec 17, 2016) Note: this species was not added to the winter list at the time because it was not yet included on the ABA Checklist for North America and there were questions on the potential origin of these birds. Since that time, the ABA Checklist committee has reviewed the previous records and decided to add the species to it's checklist. The NB Bird Records Committee has also reviewed and accepted this record so it will be added to the NB Checklist in the near future. |
