Nackawic is backyard-bird country: 72% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Blue Jay, Black-capped Chickadee and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

12 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture and Osprey.

Records peak in June and are lowest in March — about 24.3 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.
