Lakeland Ridges is backyard-bird country: 90% 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, Blue Jay and Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

11 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture and Broad-winged Hawk.
