What the records say about Mandeville
207 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Mandeville (Quebec) since 2010, across 30,850 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Blue Jay.
Mandeville is backyard-bird country: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle and American Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 8.2 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-Gabriel, 5 mi to the south, has a similar number of species on record (204 against 207). Birds logged far more often around Mandeville than there include Barred Owl.
Daylight runs from 15 h 48 min at midsummer to 8 h 36 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 AM in mid-April and 5:00 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
