What the records say about Henryville

The records split between backyard birds (59%) and waterbirds (36%), so a feeder in Henryville sees the familiar Red-winged Blackbird, American Crow and American Robin, while Canada Goose and others turn up on nearby water.

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

Records peak in May and are lowest in February — about 15.6 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.
