What the records say about Chambord
215 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Chambord (Quebec) since 2010, across 33,400 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Song Sparrow and Mallard.
Chambord 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, Song Sparrow, American Robin and European Starling make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Hen Harrier, American Kestrel and Merlin.
Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 31.7 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.
Métabetchouan, 5 mi to the south-east, has fewer species on record (209 against 215).
Daylight runs from 16 h 7 min at midsummer to 8 h 19 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:59 AM in mid-April and 4:46 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
