What the records say about Saint-Césaire
193 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Césaire (Quebec) since 2010, across 19,770 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, European Starling and Red-winged Blackbird.
Saint-Césaire 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, Red-winged Blackbird and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
23 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 February — about 13.8 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.
Rougemont, 3 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (187 against 193).
Daylight runs from 15 h 40 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.
