What the records say about Lorette

194 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Lorette (Manitoba) since 2010, across 7,004 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Red-winged Blackbird and Common Raven.

Lorette is backyard-bird country: 71% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Red-winged Blackbird, Common Raven, House Sparrow and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 12.1 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.

Ile des Chênes, 6 mi to the west, has more species on record (216 against 194).

Daylight runs from 16 h 20 min at midsummer to 8 h 7 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:36 AM in mid-April and 5:18 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
