What the records say about Tyndall
200 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Tyndall (Manitoba) since 2010, across 53,573 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Robin.
Tyndall is backyard-bird country: 88% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, American Robin and White-breasted Nuthatch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel, Red-tailed Hawk and Merlin.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 6.1 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.
Beausejour, 6 mi to the east, has more species on record (210 against 200). Birds logged far more often around Tyndall than there include Common Redpoll and Gray Partridge.
Daylight runs from 16 h 23 min at midsummer to 8 h 4 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:35 AM in mid-April and 5:16 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
