We've never seen this breadth of species in a single day before. Of note, no one was home/around the property all day.

A heatmap visualizing the daily activity patterns of various bird species throughout a 24-hour period. The image is a grid with time in hourly increments (00-23) across the top and a list of bird species along the left side. Each cell within the grid is colored according to the frequency of sightings or activity for that species at that time.    Darker colors (like deep blue or black) indicate higher activity, while lighter shades (like yellow or white) represent less activity.  Species listed include American Robin, House Sparrow, Mourning Dove, Common Grackle, Finch, Northern Cardinal, American Crow, Purple Martin, Tree Swallow, Rock Dove, Collared Dove, Sora, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Ring-billed Gull, Belted Kingfisher, American Woodcock, Black-capped Chickadee, Pine Siskin, Red-bellied Woodpecker, Trumpeter Swan, Eastern Meadowlark, Osprey, Blue Jay, Northern Mockingbird, Northern Flicker, Dark-eyed Junco, Eurasian-winged Teal, and Barred Owl.  Icons representing certain species are also present (e.g., a hummingbird for the Ruby-throated Hummingbird).   The data likely comes from a citizen science project like eBird, providing a visual representation of bird behavior throughout the day.
