What the records say about Capreol

174 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Capreol (Ontario) since 2010, across 9,111 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow and American Robin.

Capreol is backyard-bird country: 88% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow, American Robin and White-throated Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Hen Harrier and American Kestrel.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 12.4 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.

Azilda, 14 mi to the south-west, has more species on record (207 against 174). Birds logged far more often around Capreol than there include Northern Cardinal.

Daylight runs from 15 h 51 min at midsummer to 8 h 33 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:38 AM in mid-April and 5:29 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
