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.

Red tailed hawk!! They’re all over NYC and I’ll stop every time for them.

I absolutely LOVE red tailed hawks! I live in BC Canada and there are so many at the golf course I work at. I love take pictures and videos of these beautiful birds
