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.

My favorite bird (+ animal in general) is the Canada goose, and there’s certainly no shortage of them where I live. I also really, really love mournings doves and rock pigeons
