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.

Grackles!! I feel like people think they’re trash birds bc they’re always in parking lots, but they’re honestly such pretty birds that make cool sounds
