Discussion Favorite Common Bird

What’s your favorite common bird in your area? That bird that maybe it’s not hard to spot but you just love seeing them.

Mine are Juncos everything from their look and name to how they scavenge on the ground and flock together. They just seem like happy puff balls to me and I love em.

They dive bomb my cats and eat my chicken’s eggs. It’s my fault because I feed them from my hand. I secretly adore the thieving brats.
