Water shapes this list. 45% of records near Lorneville are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — American Herring Gull, Double-crested Cormorant and Great Blue Heron lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. American Crow is still the most logged backyard bird.

Records peak in September and are lowest in January — about 11.1 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.
