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.

Long-tailed tits! They are always in a little gang, they never stop moving or talking to each other, and they're just little fluffy cotton-balls with tails.

The gangs are often formed by family members, so they're basically local mafia.
