What the records say about Saint-Pascal

247 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Pascal (Quebec) since 2010, across 70,696 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Ring-billed Gull and American Herring Gull.

Water shapes this list. 55% of records near Saint-Pascal are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Ring-billed Gull, American Herring Gull and Semipalmated Plover lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. American Crow is still the most logged backyard bird.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Hen Harrier and Peregrine Falcon.

Records peak in September and are lowest in March — about 31.0 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.

Mont-Carmel, 6 mi to the south-west, has fewer species on record (218 against 247). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Pascal than there include Semipalmated Plover, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Sanderling and Lesser Yellowlegs.
