What the records say about Saint-Édouard

174 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Édouard (Quebec) since 2010, across 6,802 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, European Starling and Blue Jay.

Saint-Édouard 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 Mourning Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in June and are lowest in September — about 6.6 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-Rémi, 5 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (180 against 174).

Daylight runs from 15 h 39 min at midsummer to 8 h 44 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:10 AM in mid-April and 5:05 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
