What the records say about Saint-Pie

194 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint-Pie (Quebec) since 2010, across 47,555 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Blue Jay.

Saint-Pie is backyard-bird country: 88% 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, Blue Jay and Northern Cardinal make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture and Red-tailed Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 11.4 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-Damase, 5 mi to the north-west, has a similar number of species on record (195 against 194). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Pie than there include Common Yellowthroat, Ovenbird, American Redstart and Rose-breasted Grosbeak.

Daylight runs from 15 h 41 min at midsummer to 8 h 42 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 AM in mid-April and 5:02 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
