What the records say about Témiscaming

158 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Témiscaming (Quebec) since 2010, across 6,031 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Robin, American Crow and Blue Jay.

Témiscaming is backyard-bird country: 81% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Robin, American Crow, Blue Jay and Red-eyed Vireo make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

14 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Broad-winged Hawk and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in October — about 47.1 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.

Notre-Dame-du-Lac, 3 mi to the north-east, has a similar number of species on record (158 against 158).

Daylight runs from 15 h 51 min at midsummer to 8 h 33 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:30 AM in mid-April and 5:21 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
