What the records say about Embrun

258 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Embrun (Ontario) since 2010, across 91,473 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Mourning Dove and Blue Jay.

Embrun is backyard-bird country: 68% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Mourning Dove, Blue Jay and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 6.2 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.

Limoges, 4 mi to the north, has fewer species on record (243 against 258). Birds logged far more often around Embrun than there include Field Sparrow.

Daylight runs from 15 h 39 min at midsummer to 8 h 44 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:17 AM in mid-April and 5:12 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
