What the records say about Niverville

186 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Niverville (Manitoba) since 2010, across 6,774 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Canada Goose, Bald Eagle and American Crow.

Niverville is backyard-bird country: 60% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Common Raven, Red-winged Blackbird and Rock Pigeon make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Red-tailed Hawk and Hen Harrier. A hawk that hunts feeder birds is among them, so set feeders about 10 feet from shrubs: close enough for cover, far enough that a cat can't ambush from it.

Records peak in April and are lowest in November — about 34.8 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, 8 mi to the north, has more species on record (216 against 186). Birds logged far more often around Niverville than there include Gadwall, Marsh Wren, Pied-billed Grebe and American Coot.

Daylight runs from 16 h 18 min at midsummer to 8 h 8 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:37 AM in mid-April and 5:20 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
