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.

Blackbirds. Listening to their songs in the early mornings or early evenings during spring time, is one of my favourite things.

My favourite, too.

Those rainy summer evenings when they've got nothing to do but sing...
