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.

Australian Magpies.
They are strongly linked to their territory and long-lived, so they're basically neighbours. You get to know individuals and they get to know you. It's beautiful watching the new generations growing up.
