What the records say about Normandin
187 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Normandin (Quebec) since 2010, across 27,356 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, European Starling and House Sparrow.
Normandin is backyard-bird country: 83% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, European Starling, House 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 Hen Harrier, American Kestrel and Merlin.
Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 8.0 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.
Albanel, 5 mi to the north-east, has more species on record (193 against 187).
Daylight runs from 16 h 11 min at midsummer to 8 h 15 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:01 AM in mid-April and 4:46 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
