Carleton North is backyard-bird country: 75% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Song Sparrow, Black-capped Chickadee and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in July and are lowest in March — about 120.5 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.
