What the records say about Beeton
237 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Beeton (Ontario) since 2010, across 90,078 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal and Black-capped Chickadee.
Beeton is backyard-bird country: 80% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal, Black-capped Chickadee and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 6.7 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.
Tottenham, 4 mi to the south, has more species on record (242 against 237).
Daylight runs from 15 h 30 min at midsummer to 8 h 53 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:37 AM in mid-April and 5:35 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
