Saint-Louis de Kent is backyard-bird country: 67% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, American Robin, Black-capped Chickadee and Red-breasted Nuthatch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in July and are lowest in December — about 691.3 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.

Beaurivage, 4 mi to the south, has fewer species on record (163 against 202). Birds logged far more often around Saint-Louis de Kent than there include Golden-crowned Kinglet, Black-and-white Warbler, Blue-headed Vireo and Ovenbird.
