Temiskaming Shores 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, Black-capped Chickadee, Common Raven and American Robin make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Bald Eagle, Turkey Vulture and American Kestrel.

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 9.1 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.
