Langdale 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. American Crow, Spotted Towhee, Common Raven and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture.
Records peak in May and are lowest in September — about 2.0 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.
