What the records say about Lewisville
257 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Lewisville (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 125,167 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Black-capped Chickadee, American Crow and American Goldfinch.
Lewisville is backyard-bird country: 78% 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, American Goldfinch and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
17 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Hen Harrier.
Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 3.9 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.
