Most common birds in your area? (1 Viewer)

[senatore]

For me living in Warwickshire if Wood Pigeons,Crows/Rooks and Magpies were suddenly to disappear the skies would be allmost empty.Well allright I am exaggerating it,s just that I seem to see these birds all the time when I am looking for "better" birds.

What are the most "common" birds in your area?

MAX.

 

[Richard W]

living in the middle of a big arable farming estate would say Rooks, Jackdaws and Wood Piegeons are probably most common.

 

[Jacamar]

Great Kiskadee, Grey-breasted Martin, Brown-chested Martin, Shiny Cowbird, and Palm and Blue-grey Tanagers are a few of the most common birds in my area.

 

[buckskin hawk]

Cardnals, Mockingbirds, blackbirds and their allies, Red tailed hawks, chickadees, English House sparrows.

Some of the blackbird flocks can number near the 1000 mark during the winter. They include starlings, cowbirds, great tailed and common grackles, Brewers and Rusty Blackbirds, and red-winged blackbirds.

 

[David FG]

In no particular order:

Rooks, Herring Gulls, Collared Doves, R-N Parakeets, Woodpigeons, Starlings and (still) House Sparrows.

 

[snapper]

Starlings, Wood pigeons, Jackdaws & Collard Doves in that order.

Regards Snapper.

A pair of cardinals, many house sparrows, some chipping sparrows, and some mourning doves. Edited to add the grackles which harass the others and I am trying to get rid of them (grackles).

This might be an interesting and topical read (and a bit of a shameless plug):

Mine haven't changed much since then, if at all: Mourning Dove, Great-tailed Grackle, House Sparrow, Starling, Pigeon (in no particular order - they're all abundant and conspicuous).

 

[pauco]

Starlings.

collared Doves.

Blackbirds.

Housesparrows.

 

[JTweedie]

Lots of Carrion Crows, Starlings, House Sparrows, Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Feral Pigeons. At the moment, Swifts can be seen almost all the time.

 

[Earthinsong]

Starlings, in abundance at the suet. House Sparrows and to a lesser number, Downy Woodpeckers, Cardinals, Chickadees, Blue Jays, Mockingbirds, Wrens (House and Carolina) in the woodsy spots. This time of year a goodly number of Catbirds. Plenty of Juncos in the Winter.

Shalom,

little better than lots of noisy corvids, can we swap? o

 

[songbird6666]

Evens between Chaffinches, Greenfinches and Housesparrows. (Around 20 of each) Closely followed by Jackdaws.

 

[neilmc]

Saw seven gull species on our East Coast bash last week - but no Common Gull! Which is odd because in winter they actually are the commonest gull as seen on South Manchester playing fields. Wonder where they all go?

 

[Larry Lade]

Here in Saint Joseph, Missouri, just step outside and you will see/hear American Robin, Mourning Dove, Northern Cardinal, House Sparrow, European Starling and Blue Jay.

At this time of year add Chimney Swift and House Wren.

 

[Tammie]

For me, it's black capped chickadee and evening grosbeak.... the two regulars that are here year round.
