What the records say about Sundridge

227 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Sundridge (Ontario) since 2010, across 19,834 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and Common Raven.

Sundridge is backyard-bird country: 75% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, Common Raven 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 and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in January — about 15.3 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.

South River, 5 mi to the north, has fewer species on record (215 against 227). Birds logged far more often around Sundridge than there include Wood Duck.

Daylight runs from 15 h 43 min at midsummer to 8 h 40 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:33 AM in mid-April and 5:27 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
