What the records say about Pierreville

241 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Pierreville (Quebec) since 2010, across 66,500 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Red-winged Blackbird and Song Sparrow.

Pierreville 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, Red-winged Blackbird, Song Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 18.4 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.

Louiseville, 14 mi to the north-west, has a similar number of species on record (244 against 241). Birds logged far more often around Pierreville than there include Yellow-bellied Sapsucker and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.
