What the records say about Falkland

132 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Falkland (British Columbia) since 2010, across 802 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Robin, Common Raven and Song Sparrow.

Falkland is backyard-bird country: 73% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Robin, Common Raven, Song Sparrow and Pine Siskin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 61.0 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.

Armstrong, 16 mi to the east, has more species on record (237 against 132).

At about 1,962 ft above sea level, Falkland sits higher than most places in British Columbia. Spring arrives a little later with height, and feeders matter more in cold snaps — keep a supply of high-fat food going through late winter and early spring.

Daylight runs from 16 h 28 min at midsummer to 7 h 60 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:06 AM in mid-April and 4:45 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
