What the records say about Strait Shores

225 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Strait Shores (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 18,638 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and American Robin.

Strait Shores is backyard-bird country: 69% 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 Robin and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Osprey and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 11.2 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.

Tidnish, 7 mi to the south-east, has fewer species on record (212 against 225).

Daylight runs from 15 h 46 min at midsummer to 8 h 38 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:31 AM in mid-April and 5:24 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
