Marysville is backyard-bird country: 79% 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 Song Sparrow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Osprey.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 6.6 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.

Daylight runs from 15 h 45 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:41 AM in mid-April and 5:35 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
