What the records say about Saint-Isidore
209 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Isidore (Quebec) since 2010, across 42,193 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, American Robin and American Goldfinch.
Saint-Isidore is backyard-bird country: 83% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, American Robin, American Goldfinch and European Starling make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Hen Harrier and American Kestrel.
Records peak in August and are lowest in February — about 4.2 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-Bruno-de-Guigues, 7 mi to the west, has fewer species on record (203 against 209). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Isidore than there include Common Redpoll, Pine Grosbeak, American Tree Sparrow and Brown Thrasher.
