Below is a listing of the 2010 arrivals recorded to date in Timiskaming District. This listing will be maintained by Mike Werner and myself based on posts in the First Sightings Forum. If a species does not have a date and location specified, then it has not yet been recorded this year. Species are listed in taxanomic order, as per the master species checklist. This list, however, only includes the true migrants - those species that are generally absent from Timiskaming District in the depths of winter. Also excluded are those rare or vagrant species that are not typically seen in Timiskaming in most years.
Please note that, while this post will be updated at least weekly, it will not be listed under recent forum activity, so you may want to bookmark this page for easy reference. If you notice any errors or omissions in this compilation, please send mail to: webmaster [at] timbirds.info.
