What the records say about Saint Romuald

328 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Saint Romuald (Quebec) since 2010, across 1,587,787 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow and Mallard.

Saint Romuald is backyard-bird country: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow, American Goldfinch and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

26 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Bald Eagle and Merlin.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 8.1 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, 5 mi to the south, has fewer species on record (277 against 328).

Daylight runs from 15 h 52 min at midsummer to 8 h 32 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 5:59 AM in mid-April and 4:50 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
