What the records say about Bishop's Falls

Bishop's Falls is backyard-bird country: 88% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Robin, White-throated Sparrow, Dark-eyed Junco and American Crow make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 82.7 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.
