What the records say about Senneville

Senneville is backyard-bird country: 80% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Northern Cardinal, American Crow and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 7.3 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.

Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, 2 mi to the south, has a similar number of species on record (288 against 285).

Daylight runs from 15 h 41 min at midsummer to 8 h 43 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:12 AM in mid-April and 5:06 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
