What the records say about Saint-Félicien

Saint-Félicien is backyard-bird country: 65% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, American Robin and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Hen Harrier and American Kestrel.
Records peak in May and are lowest in March — about 14.8 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.
Saint-Prime, 7 mi to the south-east, has fewer species on record (214 against 220).
Daylight runs from 16 h 9 min at midsummer to 8 h 17 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:01 AM in mid-April and 4:46 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
