La Broquerie is backyard-bird country: 84% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, Common Raven and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel and Bald Eagle.
Records peak in May and are lowest in September — about 8.3 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.
