What the records say about St-André

158 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of St-André (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 3,352 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, American Robin and Black-capped Chickadee.

St-André is backyard-bird country: 86% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, American Robin, Black-capped Chickadee and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel, Osprey and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 77.3 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.

Grand Falls, 4 mi to the south, has fewer species on record (148 against 158).

Daylight runs from 15 h 55 min at midsummer to 8 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:44 AM in mid-April and 5:34 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
