What the records say about Warman
237 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Warman (Saskatchewan) since 2010, across 26,578 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are House Sparrow, American Robin and House Finch.
Warman is backyard-bird country: 69% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. House Sparrow, American Robin, House Finch and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Merlin, Swainson's Hawk and Red-tailed Hawk.
Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 21.8 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.
Martensville, 5 mi to the south-west, has a similar number of species on record (235 against 237).
At about 1,663 ft above sea level, Warman 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.
Daylight runs from 16 h 48 min at midsummer to 7 h 41 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:10 AM in mid-April and 4:43 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
