What the records say about Deseronto

223 bird species have been recorded within 6 mi of the centre of Deseronto (Ontario) since 2010, across 25,696 public observation records shared through GBIF. The most recorded are American Crow, American Robin and Blue Jay.

Deseronto is backyard-bird country: 70% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. American Crow, American Robin, Blue Jay and Mourning Dove make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

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

Records peak in June and are lowest in September — about 6.5 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.
