Lebel-sur-Quévillon is backyard-bird country: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Common Raven, American Crow, American Robin and White-throated Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

9 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, American Kestrel and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 159.5 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.

Senneterre, 47 mi to the south, has more species on record (166 against 140). Birds logged far more often around Lebel-sur-Quévillon than there include Common Raven.
