What the records say about Rosemère

Rosemère is backyard-bird country: 74% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal, American Robin and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

26 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-shouldered Hawk and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 6.9 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.

Boisbriand, 2 mi to the south-west, has more species on record (274 against 266).

Daylight runs from 15 h 42 min at midsummer to 8 h 41 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 AM in mid-April and 5:05 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
