What the records say about Saint-Narcisse

169 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Narcisse (Quebec) since 2010, across 16,730 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Crow.

Saint-Narcisse is backyard-bird country: 86% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, American Crow and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Red-shouldered Hawk and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 8.0 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.

Hérouxville, 10 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (185 against 169). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Narcisse than there include American Tree Sparrow, Sandhill Crane, Snow Goose and Red-shouldered Hawk.
