Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon is backyard-bird country: 74% 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, European Starling and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Snowy Owl, Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in May and are lowest in October — about 6.5 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.

Breakeyville, 7 mi to the north, has more species on record (277 against 234). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Lambert-de-Lauzon than there include Horned Lark, Snow Bunting, Killdeer and Snowy Owl.
