What the records say about Mount Brydges

253 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Mount Brydges (Ontario) since 2010, across 116,287 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Canada Goose and Northern Cardinal.

Mount Brydges is backyard-bird country: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 5.0 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.

Delaware, 4 mi to the east, has more species on record (267 against 253).

Daylight runs from 15 h 21 min at midsummer to 9 h 1 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:45 AM in mid-April and 5:46 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
