What the records say about Noonan
239 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Noonan (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 46,442 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and American Goldfinch.
Noonan is backyard-bird country: 71% 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, American Goldfinch 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 and Osprey.
Records peak in May and are lowest in January — 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.
Marysville, 3 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (247 against 239).
Daylight runs from 15 h 45 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:41 AM in mid-April and 5:34 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
