What the records say about Arborg

126 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Arborg (Manitoba) since 2010, across 859 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Common Raven, Canada Goose and Black-billed Magpie.

Arborg is backyard-bird country: 64% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Common Raven, Black-billed Magpie, American Crow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in April and are lowest in August — about 10.4 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.

Gimli, 21 mi to the south-east, has more species on record (260 against 126). Birds logged far more often around Arborg than there include American Kestrel and Red-tailed Hawk.

Daylight runs from 16 h 32 min at midsummer to 7 h 56 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:36 AM in mid-April and 5:14 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
