What the records say about Bromont
234 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Bromont (Quebec) since 2010, across 187,935 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and American Robin.
Bromont is backyard-bird country: 79% 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, American Robin and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-tailed Hawk and American Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 22.8 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.
Waterloo, 7 mi to the east, has fewer species on record (221 against 234). Birds logged far more often around Bromont than there include American Kestrel.
Daylight runs from 15 h 40 min at midsummer to 8 h 44 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 AM in mid-April and 5:02 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
