What the records say about Maniwaki

152 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Maniwaki (Quebec) since 2010, across 3,406 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Blue Jay and American Robin.

Maniwaki is backyard-bird country: 84% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Blue Jay, American Robin and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in January — about 36.8 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-Boniface, 8 mi to the north, has fewer species on record (130 against 152). Birds logged far more often around Maniwaki than there include Northern Cardinal and White-breasted Nuthatch.

Daylight runs from 15 h 49 min at midsummer to 8 h 35 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:18 AM in mid-April and 5:10 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
