What the records say about Casselman

247 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Casselman (Ontario) since 2010, across 50,133 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Common Raven and European Starling.

Casselman 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, Common Raven, European Starling and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

23 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Rough-legged Buzzard, Red-tailed Hawk and Snowy Owl.

Records peak in June and are lowest in April — about 4.0 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.

Limoges, 8 mi to the west, has a similar number of species on record (243 against 247). Birds logged far more often around Casselman than there include American Herring Gull, Snow Bunting, Horned Lark and Great Black-backed Gull.
