What the records say about Limoges

243 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Limoges (Ontario) since 2010, across 42,225 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Canada Goose and Mallard.

Limoges is backyard-bird country: 60% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Red-winged Blackbird, Blue Jay and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 8.3 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.

Embrun, 4 mi to the south, has more species on record (258 against 243). Birds logged far more often around Limoges than there include Red-breasted Nuthatch and Veery.

Daylight runs from 15 h 40 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.
