What the records say about Mannheim

269 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Mannheim (Ontario) since 2010, across 572,551 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal and American Crow.

Mannheim is backyard-bird country: 76% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal, American Crow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

23 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk and Osprey.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 7.5 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.

Waterloo, 5 mi to the north, has more species on record (285 against 269).

Daylight runs from 15 h 25 min at midsummer to 8 h 57 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:41 AM in mid-April and 5:41 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
