Hautes-Terres is backyard-bird country: 94% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Mourning Dove, Purple Finch and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

8 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Hen Harrier and Merlin.
