Water shapes this list. 50% of records near Dildo are ducks, geese, gulls, waders, herons and other waterbirds — American Herring Gull, Great Black-backed 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.

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

Records peak in July and are lowest in November — about 129.6 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.
