Saint-Bruno-de-Guigues 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. American Crow, American Robin, Common Raven and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in June and are lowest in January — about 24.9 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.

Saint-Isidore, 7 mi to the east, has more species on record (209 against 203).
