What the records say about Labrecque

166 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Labrecque (Quebec) since 2010, across 5,220 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow and Mallard.

Labrecque is backyard-bird country: 78% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow, Blue Jay and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including American Kestrel and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 21.3 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.

Saint-Ambroise, 12 mi to the south-east, has more species on record (180 against 166). Birds logged far more often around Labrecque than there include Common Loon, Spotted Sandpiper, Ring-billed Gull and Bank Swallow.
