What the records say about Scott

115 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Scott (Quebec) since 2010, across 1,009 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Willow Grouse, Common Raven and Common Redpoll.

Scott is backyard-bird country: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Common Raven, Common Redpoll, White-throated Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 57.0 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.

Chibougamau, 12 mi to the north-east, has more species on record (189 against 115). Birds logged far more often around Scott than there include Willow Grouse, Red-tailed Hawk and Barn Swallow.

Daylight runs from 16 h 21 min at midsummer to 8 h 6 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:07 AM in mid-April and 4:49 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
