Birds of Enderby

205 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Enderby (British Columbia) since 2010, across 17,281 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Northern Flicker, Red-tailed Hawk and Black-billed Magpie.

Enderby is backyard-bird country: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Northern Flicker, Black-billed Magpie, Black-capped Chickadee and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in May and are lowest in October — about 6.8 times as many in the busiest month. Part of that is birds (migrants and breeding arrivals), part is people: more birders are out in good weather, so treat the curve as activity, not a census.

Grindrod, 6 mi to the north, has more species on record (210 against 205). Birds logged far more often around Enderby than there include Rough-legged Buzzard, California Quail, Western Kingbird and Eastern Kingbird.

Daylight runs from 16 h 28 min at midsummer to 7 h 59 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:04 AM in mid-April and 4:43 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
