Birds 🐦 (Page 3): CB is wrong, there are hundreds of species of sparrows that are native, English Sparrows are not and maybe a few others but most are.

I stand corrected you are right ( most common in US). I would stay Crow would be at the top or close to it.

Many of the backyard birds 🐦 that frequent feeders are non native species.
I'm looking for the most common native species here.
I'm hoping to see a lot of soaring answers 🙏

The thing about Humming Birds is that they migrate to Mexico so i am not sure if they are "Native"
But they sure are pretty. One of the routes they use is Ramsey Canyon in Arizona.

Hey Gold-digger. Interesting thought but native means naturally occurring within their range. Also not all species migrate, at least not far. I have several resident Anna's Hummingbirds that stay around all year as long as I keep their feeders full and it doesn't get too cold. I have been to Ramsey Canyon and other birding areas in Arizona and New Mexico. Great place to visit in the spring and early summer. Added more than 50 bird species to my life list.
Cheers!

As far as the most common (not only at feeders) I would say the Common Grackle in the east and the Brewer's Blackbird in the west.

I hope this goes through. I was typing an answer and all of a sudden everthing disappeared. It took about 40 minutes to find this post again. I was saying that I heve never seen a robin at a bird feeder or suet cake. my guess would be a cardinal. I see a lot of them in my yard.
