What the records say about Saint-Fulgence
255 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Fulgence (Quebec) since 2010, across 230,246 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Mallard.
Saint-Fulgence is backyard-bird country: 63% 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, Song Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle and Hen Harrier.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 16.5 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-Honoré, 10 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (176 against 255). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Fulgence than there include Mallard, Canada Goose, Ring-billed Gull and Common Goldeneye.
