What the records say about Barraute

174 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Barraute (Quebec) since 2010, across 7,999 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Common Raven and European Starling.

Barraute 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, Common Raven, European Starling and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

16 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel, Hen Harrier and Merlin.

Records peak in June and are lowest in December — about 35.7 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.

Senneterre, 18 mi to the east, has fewer species on record (166 against 174). Birds logged far more often around Barraute than there include Savannah Sparrow, Killdeer, House Sparrow and Sharp-tailed Grouse.

Daylight runs from 16 h 7 min at midsummer to 8 h 19 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:22 AM in mid-April and 5:08 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
