Saint-Léonard is backyard-bird country: 85% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Song Sparrow, American Goldfinch and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 23.2 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.
