What the records say about Grunthal

166 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Grunthal (Manitoba) since 2010, across 3,862 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch and Blue Jay.

Grunthal is backyard-bird country: 87% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Blue Jay and Hairy Woodpecker make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in July — about 18.7 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.

Niverville, 16 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (186 against 166). Birds logged far more often around Grunthal than there include Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Hairy Woodpecker and Common Redpoll.
