What the records say about Beauceville

225 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Beauceville (Quebec) since 2010, across 41,012 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Blue Jay.

Beauceville is backyard-bird country: 73% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, American Kestrel and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in April and are lowest in September — about 13.1 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.

Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, 7 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (241 against 225).

Daylight runs from 15 h 47 min at midsummer to 8 h 37 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:58 AM in mid-April and 4:50 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
