What the records say about Caronport

204 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Caronport (Saskatchewan) since 2010, across 9,071 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Western Meadowlark, Mallard and Red-winged Blackbird.

Water shapes this list. 51% of records near Caronport are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Mallard, Canada Goose and Killdeer lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. Western Meadowlark is still the most logged backyard bird.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 160.9 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.

Lumsden, 44 mi to the east, has more species on record (220 against 204). Birds logged far more often around Caronport than there include American Avocet, Willet, Canvasback and Marbled Godwit.

At about 1,834 ft above sea level, Caronport sits higher than most places in Saskatchewan. Spring arrives a little later with height, and feeders matter more in cold snaps — keep a supply of high-fat food going through late winter and early spring.
