Excellent idea for a thread! Here's the common of the common. Ordinary of the ordinary. Invasive of the invasive... actually maybe that's reserved for European Starling. But anyway - House Sparrow!

Nice shot of that Varied Thrush, John! That is not an ordinary bird here in the Okanagan - it's once in several months before you see a Varied Thrush point blank!

Awesome shots as well, Matthew!

One of the common birds I so often walk by, dismissing them as just Mallards Mallard Duck - 088a2c by Sue Coastal Observer, on Flickr

Every now and again, an ordinary bird...in this case a Spotted Towhee shows up with extraordinary feathers!

I titled this one "Feathers painted by Monet"
