Saskatchewan Day 3

Well, darkenss has come and Day 3 is over for the province. We have logged 50 species so far, 7 more than yesterday, but still way off the mark of last years record of 66 species. Many people from many communites are participating, including some new locations...welcome everyone. We are now over 10,000 Bohemian Waxwings, with no other community in North America even close to our numbers. Other notables are Evening Grosbeaks with their best showing in recent memory, today they were reported from several new locations. We are now over 100 Eurasian Collared Doves, this is nice to see as we have had a very harsh winter, with temperatures plunging to -50C for days and days on end a few weeks ago, and temperatures in the province have been bitter since November. For them to survive our winter this year should bode well for a good breeding start, this species was also noted for the first time in Regina. We have one more day to go to find 16 new species, but I am not sure we will be able to pull a rabbit out of our hat this time, but miracles do happen.

Have a great productive and fun day 4, and for those of you like us, have a great holiday Monday
