What the records say about Saint-Isidore
131 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Isidore (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 1,242 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Goldfinch.
Saint-Isidore is backyard-bird country: 78% 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 Goldfinch and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Broad-winged Hawk, Bald Eagle and Osprey.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 68.3 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.
Hautes-Terres, 6 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (109 against 131). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Isidore than there include Tundra Swan and Common Merganser.
