Rusagonis is backyard-bird country: 92% 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, Blue Jay and Red-breasted Nuthatch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle.

Records peak in May and are lowest in December — about 5.9 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.
