What the records say about New-Richmond

234 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of New-Richmond (Quebec) since 2010, across 30,087 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Song Sparrow.

New-Richmond is backyard-bird country: 61% 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, Song Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 12.9 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.

Maria, 6 mi to the west, has fewer species on record (225 against 234).

Daylight runs from 16 h 4 min at midsummer to 8 h 21 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:35 AM in mid-April and 4:22 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
