What the records say about Warwick
159 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Warwick (Quebec) since 2010, across 19,393 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee and Blue Jay.
Warwick 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. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and Mourning Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, American Kestrel and Broad-winged Hawk.
Records peak in May and are lowest in August — about 6.6 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.
Tingwick, 5 mi to the south, has more species on record (170 against 159). Birds logged far more often around Warwick than there include Rock Pigeon, Snow Bunting, Horned Lark and House Sparrow.
Daylight runs from 15 h 45 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.
