Glovertown is backyard-bird country: 72% 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, American Crow and Dark-eyed Junco make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in June and are lowest in November — about 18.0 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.

Gambo, 11 mi to the north-west, has fewer species on record (123 against 143). Birds logged far more often around Glovertown than there include Golden-crowned Kinglet, Caspian Tern and Bufflehead.
