What the records say about East Angus
165 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of East Angus (Quebec) since 2010, across 11,066 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and American Robin.
East Angus is backyard-bird country: 82% 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 Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 46.7 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.
Cookshire-Eaton, 5 mi to the south, has more species on record (170 against 165).
Daylight runs from 15 h 41 min at midsummer to 8 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:02 AM in mid-April and 4:57 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
