What the records say about Labelle

167 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Labelle (Quebec) since 2010, across 22,697 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and Red-breasted Nuthatch.

Labelle is backyard-bird country: 85% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, Red-breasted Nuthatch and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, American Kestrel and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 20.0 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.

Mont-Tremblant, 9 mi to the south-east, has more species on record (195 against 167). Birds logged far more often around Labelle than there include Rock Pigeon and American Kestrel.

Daylight runs from 15 h 48 min at midsummer to 8 h 36 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:13 AM in mid-April and 5:06 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
