What the records say about Beaupré

300 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Beaupré (Quebec) since 2010, across 677,114 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow and Song Sparrow.

Beaupré is backyard-bird country: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow, Song Sparrow and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

24 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 63.8 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.

Château-Richer, 9 mi to the south-west, has fewer species on record (239 against 300). Birds logged far more often around Beaupré than there include Pied-billed Grebe, Gadwall, American Bittern and Eastern Bluebird.

Daylight runs from 15 h 54 min at midsummer to 8 h 30 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:57 AM in mid-April and 4:47 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
