Kuujjuaq is backyard-bird country: 77% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. White-crowned Sparrow, Common Raven, American Robin and Canada Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Osprey, Merlin and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 108.5 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.

Nain, 272 mi to the east, has fewer species on record (80 against 89). Birds logged far more often around Kuujjuaq than there include Blackpoll Warbler, American Tree Sparrow, Wilson's Warbler and Gray-cheeked Thrush.
