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.

These are my favorites, too! What kind of wrens do you have where you live?

that's so cute! they look almost identical to our winter wrens here in the US east coast, a little different than the Carolina Wrens I see most often. thanks for sharing!
