What the records say about Lac-Connelly
194 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Lac-Connelly (Quebec) since 2010, across 77,506 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker and Hairy Woodpecker.
Lac-Connelly is backyard-bird country: 86% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Downy Woodpecker, Hairy Woodpecker and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon and Broad-winged Hawk.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 7.6 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-Hippolyte, 3 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (185 against 194).
Daylight runs from 15 h 44 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 AM in mid-April and 5:04 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
