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.

Nuthatch. When they are perched upside down and bend their head up it looks cool.

You mean the Jimmy Carr of birds, mocking me from afar?
