What the records say about Mont-Tremblant

195 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Mont-Tremblant (Quebec) since 2010, across 62,011 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Crow.

Mont-Tremblant is backyard-bird country: 82% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, American Crow and Red-breasted Nuthatch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 11.4 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.

La Conception, 7 mi to the south-west, has fewer species on record (182 against 195).

Daylight runs from 15 h 47 min at midsummer to 8 h 37 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:13 AM in mid-April and 5:06 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
