Birds around New York
New York, United States
Every measure here is worked out per 5 degree square, so this covers the wider area around New York (40° to 45° latitude, -75° to -70° longitude, about 550 km across), not the city alone. Counts are shares of all birds records in the same weeks, so busier stations do not inflate them (methods).
