What the records say about Caesarea

225 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Caesarea (Ontario) since 2010, across 23,555 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Canada Goose and Red-winged Blackbird.

Caesarea is backyard-bird country: 64% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Red-winged Blackbird, Black-capped Chickadee and Mourning Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Osprey, Turkey Vulture and Red-tailed Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 6.3 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.

Port Perry, 6 mi to the south-west, has more species on record (254 against 225). Birds logged far more often around Caesarea than there include Common Merganser and Common Loon.

Daylight runs from 15 h 30 min at midsummer to 8 h 52 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:33 AM in mid-April and 5:31 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
