Favorites in my neighborhood: Northern flicker, American goldfinch (I think!) and wild turkey. I like the northern flickers because it was fun using the "v" on the back of their necks to identify them - one of the first times I've used a clue like that to identify a bird.  The goldfinch is not overly common, so seeing the bright yellow from time to time is exciting. And the turkeys are just so interesting, big, and active, especially in the spring when mating begins.
