What the records say about Maugerville

Maugerville is backyard-bird country: 80% 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, Song Sparrow and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle and Osprey.
Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 19.6 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.
Oromocto, 3 mi to the south-west, has fewer species on record (206 against 211).
Daylight runs from 15 h 44 min at midsummer to 8 h 39 min at midwinter here. Sunrise is about 6:41 AM in mid-April and 5:34 AM in late June; the dawn chorus starts 30–60 minutes earlier.
