What the records say about Roberval

211 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Roberval (Quebec) since 2010, across 49,242 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Mourning Dove.

Roberval 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. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Mourning Dove and Downy Woodpecker make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Merlin, American Kestrel and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 7.0 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.

Saint-Prime, 7 mi to the north-west, has a similar number of species on record (214 against 211). Birds logged far more often around Roberval than there include Mourning Dove and Northern Cardinal.

Daylight runs from 16 h 8 min at midsummer to 8 h 18 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:00 AM in mid-April and 4:46 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
