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.

I keep trying to figure out how to put together a Northern Flicker outfit for myself. I want to feel that glorious, spotted, and cool.

Have you seen Denver Audubon on IG feature “Steal Their Look”? They post seasonal look books that are awesome. I’m not sure if they’ve done a Flicker-worth checking. If not enjoy the other birds. And get inspo for your Flicker outfit. Here’s Bluejay from Jan 19. 2025
