What the records say about Nigadoo
224 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Nigadoo (New Brunswick) since 2010, across 14,079 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are Northern Gannet, American Crow and American Herring Gull.
Water shapes this list. 50% of records near Nigadoo are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — Northern Gannet, American Herring Gull and Ring-billed Gull lead them — which points to coast, estuary, river or open water within range. American Crow is still the most logged backyard bird.
15 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Osprey and Bald Eagle.
Records peak in June and are lowest in March — about 8.2 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.
