What the records say about Saint-Hippolyte

185 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Hippolyte (Quebec) since 2010, across 72,436 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Hairy Woodpecker and Downy Woodpecker.

Saint-Hippolyte is backyard-bird country: 87% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Hairy Woodpecker, Downy Woodpecker and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 6.7 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.

Lac-Connelly, 3 mi to the south-east, has more species on record (194 against 185).

Daylight runs from 15 h 45 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:11 AM in mid-April and 5:05 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
