What the records say about Rougemont

187 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Rougemont (Quebec) since 2010, across 20,019 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, European Starling and Blue Jay.

Rougemont is backyard-bird country: 81% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, European Starling, Blue Jay and Red-winged Blackbird make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture and Rough-legged Buzzard.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 10.5 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-Césaire, 3 mi to the south-east, has more species on record (193 against 187).

Daylight runs from 15 h 41 min at midsummer to 8 h 43 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:08 AM in mid-April and 5:03 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
