What the records say about Saint-Liboire

Saint-Liboire is backyard-bird country: 84% 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, European Starling and Blue Jay make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.
20 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Red-tailed Hawk, Turkey Vulture and Rough-legged Buzzard.
Records peak in May and are lowest in November — about 8.1 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.
