What the records say about Peachland

238 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Peachland (British Columbia) since 2010, across 68,683 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Northern Flicker, American Robin and Common Raven.

Peachland is backyard-bird country: 80% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Northern Flicker, American Robin, Common Raven and Red-breasted Nuthatch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 3.7 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.

West Kelowna, 10 mi to the north-east, has more species on record (302 against 238). Birds logged far more often around Peachland than there include Red-breasted Nuthatch, Steller's Jay, Hairy Woodpecker and White-breasted Nuthatch.

Daylight runs from 16 h 20 min at midsummer to 8 h 7 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 AM in mid-April and 4:50 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
