Saint-Pamphile is backyard-bird country: 73% 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, American Goldfinch and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in July and are lowest in December — about 41.3 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.
