What the records say about Berthierville
266 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Berthierville (Quebec) since 2010, across 195,785 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Ring-billed Gull and European Starling.
The records split between backyard birds (59%) and waterbirds (33%), so a feeder in Berthierville sees the familiar American Crow, European Starling and Black-capped Chickadee, while Ring-billed Gull and others turn up on nearby water.
21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture and Rough-legged Buzzard.
Records peak in April and are lowest in February — about 9.6 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.
