What the records say about Gambo

123 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Gambo (Newfoundland and Labrador) since 2010, across 3,628 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, American Black Duck and American Herring Gull.

Gambo is backyard-bird country: 61% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, American Robin, White-throated Sparrow and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in January — about 12.3 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.

Hare Bay, 10 mi to the north-east, has fewer species on record (81 against 123). Birds logged far more often around Gambo than there include Canada Goose, Common Goldeneye, Song Sparrow and Black-headed Gull.

Daylight runs from 16 h 10 min at midsummer to 8 h 15 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:17 AM in mid-April and 5:03 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
