Campbellford is backyard-bird country: 79% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Blue Jay, American Robin, American Crow and Mourning Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

18 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Osprey and Red-tailed Hawk.

Records peak in June and are lowest in January — about 32.5 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.

Norwood, 10 mi to the north-west, has more species on record (226 against 208). Birds logged far more often around Campbellford than there include Wood Thrush, Bank Swallow and Double-crested Cormorant.
