What the records say about Saint-Quentin
80 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Quentin (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 301 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Blue Jay and American Robin.
Saint-Quentin is backyard-bird country: 89% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Blue Jay, American Robin and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
Records peak in July and are lowest in March — about 19.0 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.
Kedgwick, 9 mi to the north, has more species on record (90 against 80).
Daylight runs from 15 h 58 min at midsummer to 8 h 26 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:42 AM in mid-April and 5:31 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
