Fundy Albert is backyard-bird country: 66% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow, Song Sparrow and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

22 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Peregrine Falcon and Hen Harrier.

Records peak in August and are lowest in February — about 16.1 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.

Hillsborough, 8 mi to the north, has fewer species on record (222 against 242). Birds logged far more often around Fundy Albert than there include Semipalmated Sandpiper, Peregrine Falcon, Great Blue Heron and Semipalmated Plover.
