What the records say about Azilda
207 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Azilda (Ontario) since 2010, across 19,715 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Song Sparrow.
Azilda 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, Black-capped Chickadee, Song Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, American Kestrel and Hen Harrier.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 16.2 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.
Rayside-Balfour, 7 mi to the north-west, has a similar number of species on record (211 against 207).
Daylight runs from 15 h 50 min at midsummer to 8 h 34 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:39 AM in mid-April and 5:30 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
