Water shapes this list. 69% of records near Brantville are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Northern Gannet, Piping Plover and Double-crested Cormorant lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. American Crow is still the most logged backyard bird.
