What the records say about Sainte-Adèle

194 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Sainte-Adèle (Quebec) since 2010, across 71,654 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Crow.

Sainte-Adèle is backyard-bird country: 82% 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.

21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 9.3 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.

Piedmont, 3 mi to the south, has a similar number of species on record (196 against 194).

Daylight runs from 15 h 45 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 AM in mid-April and 5:05 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
