What the records say about Neepawa

158 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Neepawa (Manitoba) since 2010, across 1,733 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Canada Goose and Black-capped Chickadee.

Neepawa is backyard-bird country: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Common Raven and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Swainson's Hawk and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 21.5 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.

Minnedosa, 17 mi to the west, has more species on record (221 against 158). Birds logged far more often around Neepawa than there include Belted Kingfisher.

Daylight runs from 16 h 25 min at midsummer to 8 h 2 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:46 AM in mid-April and 5:26 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
