Birds around Montreal
Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around Montreal (45° to 50° latitude, -75° to -70° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).

Expected in the next six weeks
