What the records say about Tidnish
212 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Tidnish (Nova Scotia) since 2010, across 16,350 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Song Sparrow and American Robin.
Tidnish is backyard-bird country: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Song Sparrow, American Robin and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Osprey and American Kestrel.
Records peak in August and are lowest in February — about 10.1 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.
Strait Shores, 7 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (225 against 212).
Daylight runs from 15 h 45 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.
