What the records say about Burin
114 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Burin (Newfoundland and Labrador) since 2010, across 1,001 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Dark-eyed Junco and American Robin.
Burin is backyard-bird country: 63% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Dark-eyed Junco, American Robin and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
7 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Merlin and Osprey.
Records peak in July and are lowest in March — about 11.4 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.
Marystown, 6 mi to the north, has a similar number of species on record (114 against 114).
Daylight runs from 15 h 55 min at midsummer to 8 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:24 AM in mid-April and 5:14 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
