What the records say about Lappe

177 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Lappe (Ontario) since 2010, across 20,252 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch and Common Raven.

Lappe is backyard-bird country: 90% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Common Raven and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 5.6 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.

Shuniah Township, 11 mi to the east, has more species on record (210 against 177). Birds logged far more often around Lappe than there include Hairy Woodpecker, Pine Grosbeak, Canada Jay and Boreal Chickadee.

Daylight runs from 16 h 8 min at midsummer to 8 h 17 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 7:08 AM in mid-April and 5:54 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
