What the records say about Memramcook
234 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Memramcook (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 30,101 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Ring-necked Duck.
Memramcook 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, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Hen Harrier and Turkey Vulture.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 7.4 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.
Hillsborough, 8 mi to the south-west, has fewer species on record (222 against 234). Birds logged far more often around Memramcook than there include Ruddy Duck, Lesser Scaup, Eurasian Wigeon and Black Scoter.
Daylight runs from 15 h 45 min at midsummer to 8 h 38 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:33 AM in mid-April and 5:26 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
