Florenceville-Bristol is backyard-bird country: 76% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Blue Jay, Black-capped Chickadee and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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