What the records say about Marystown

Marystown is backyard-bird country: 64% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, Dark-eyed Junco, American Robin and Black-capped Chickadee make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in August and are lowest in April — about 13.2 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.
