What the records say about Killarney

Killarney is backyard-bird country: 73% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Red-winged Blackbird, American Robin, Black-capped Chickadee and Common Grackle make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Merlin and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 45.6 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.

Deloraine, 38 mi to the west, has more species on record (214 against 159). Birds logged far more often around Killarney than there include American Robin, Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay and American Crow.
