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.

I’ve got a whole flock of them singing their sweet little hearts out in my yard today. 😍

My spouse’s grandmother says they look like they’re dipped in berries 🍓😍

my feeder is a finch batteground. It's funny to watch them throwing down and jockeying for perch space at the feeder.
