What the records say about Iroquois Falls

151 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Iroquois Falls (Ontario) since 2010, across 2,982 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Robin, Common Raven and American Crow.

Iroquois Falls 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. American Robin, Common Raven, American Crow and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel, Hen Harrier and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 37.3 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.

Cochrane, 26 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (195 against 151). Birds logged far more often around Iroquois Falls than there include Blue Jay.

Daylight runs from 16 h 10 min at midsummer to 8 h 16 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:33 AM in mid-April and 5:18 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
