What the records say about Saint-Flavien

177 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Flavien (Quebec) since 2010, across 18,022 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, European Starling and Blue Jay.

Saint-Flavien is backyard-bird country: 88% 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 Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Hen Harrier and Snowy Owl.

Records peak in May and are lowest in October — about 9.6 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-Agapit, 8 mi to the north-east, has more species on record (204 against 177). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Flavien than there include Rock Pigeon, Snow Bunting, House Sparrow and Horned Lark.
