Saint-Sauveur is backyard-bird country: 83% of the records here are small songbirds, doves, woodpeckers and the other birds that come to feeders and yard trees. Black-capped Chickadee, Blue Jay, American Crow and American Goldfinch make up the core of what you can expect at a feeder.

21 birds of prey are on record nearby, including Turkey Vulture, Peregrine Falcon and Broad-winged Hawk.

Records peak in May and are lowest in January — about 10.7 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.
