Well, there must be something to your choice. The only wildlife that I get to see during my workday are the pair of Peregrine Falcons that perch and eat their kill outside my window 37 stories above the Hudson River.

I would consider myself one luck person to be able so work and observe the Peregrines Ed..

My submission is House Sparrow:
not a very colorful bird but quite common

The bird that seems to be everywhere is the ubiquitous, and very noisy “Hadeda” – or are they only a Southern African phenomena ?

i think only i our part of the world 🙂 but there are Ibis’s all over the show globally

My gut reaction to this poll would be the House sparrow which acts very unpleasant in these parts. I am wondering if it’sdistribution has been helped along but we humans. Sure wish it was the Barn Owl as I have yet to see one in new England or my travels.

Adam,
I really meant to get back to you right away after this post. The day after you posted I went out with the Director of the Birds of Prey Project for the U. of California. Glenn was flying three of his Peregrine falcons and I was lucky enough to be invited. When asking him about the Peregrine being the most ubiquitous of birds, he said it is the most wide-spread, but not enough of a population to be the most ubiquitous.
House sparrow would be my vote.
I am bringing Birders with us in May to Pioneer Camp. Hope to benefit from your interest in birds, if not in the field, perhaps at the BOMA.

Looking forward to some quality bird watching 😉
