What the records say about Pemberton

218 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Pemberton (British Columbia) since 2010, across 63,714 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Spotted Towhee, American Robin and Steller's Jay.

Pemberton is backyard-bird country: 84% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Spotted Towhee, American Robin, Steller's Jay and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle and American Kestrel.

Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 7.3 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.

Mount Currie, 4 mi to the east, has fewer species on record (208 against 218).

Daylight runs from 16 h 26 min at midsummer to 8 h 1 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:19 AM in mid-April and 4:59 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
