Hey Everyone, This message was approved by the Birdnews moderators. December 1st will be the first day of winter listing for the season, running until February 28th. There have been about 352 species of birds recorded in Ontario during the winter period. Last winter 202 species were recorded which is about average. The average is 204 species looking at data for the last 13 years. Some of the highlights from last year included Northern Fulmar, Common Gallinule, and Grasshopper Sparrow. Just post your sightings to Ontbirds (if sufficiently rare), Birdnews (for lesser rarities), ebird.org, or Discord <https://discord.gg/jQZtg4CwpR> (there is a winter listing channel) or send me an email, and I will update the list accordingly and provide an update to Ontbirds every couple of weeks. If you'd like, you can check the list and inform me of any species that have been seen but are not present on the list. The list can be viewed at http://tinyurl.com/myyulvs. I will try to update the spreadsheet every couple of days or whenever I hear of a new addition. Please let me know if you hear of a new addition or have any other corrections to the spreadsheet. Let's hope for a good winter, Todd Hagedorn Hey Everyone, December 1st will be the first day of winter listing for the season, running until February 28th.
