Kingsclear is backyard-bird country: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, American Robin and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

13 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Turkey Vulture.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 10.8 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.

Hanwell, 7 mi to the east, has more species on record (177 against 172). Birds logged far more often around Kingsclear than there include Bald Eagle, Canada Goose, Mallard and Common Merganser.
