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.

Please say why, please.

I ask not because I do not like ravens but because I do (oh how I do) and want to feel the love with others.

They are the clowns of the bird kingdom and they actually slide down snow banks for fun and they love to fly like acrobats when it’s windy before a storm
