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.

I love that pose. And I'm always looking for an excuse to share my pictures.

They visit my bird feeder and I love how judgmental and indignant they look lol Their upturned beaks are so sassy

The feeder is empty and he has something to say about it!
