What the records say about Tingwick

170 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Tingwick (Quebec) since 2010, across 17,810 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and Mourning Dove.

Tingwick is backyard-bird country: 92% 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, Mourning Dove and Downy Woodpecker make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

16 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, American Kestrel and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 8.0 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.

Warwick, 5 mi to the north, has fewer species on record (159 against 170).

Daylight runs from 15 h 44 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:03 AM in mid-April and 4:56 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
