Linière is backyard-bird country: 82% 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, American Robin and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

19 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Broad-winged Hawk and Bald Eagle.

Records peak in June and are lowest in February — about 26.5 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.
