What the records say about Ste. Anne

251 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Ste. Anne (Manitoba) since 2010, across 32,386 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch and Common Raven.

Ste. Anne is backyard-bird country: 80% 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, Common Raven and Blue Jay 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 Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 5.1 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.

Lorette, 11 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (194 against 251). Birds logged far more often around Ste. Anne than there include Common Redpoll, Bank Swallow and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

Daylight runs from 16 h 19 min at midsummer to 8 h 8 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.
