:] Where I live, I'm not sure what common birds would be considered super rare sights elsewhere. We have woodpeckers around national parks and the mountains. And humming birds come around wherever they can get nectar from flowers. ^-^
In San Gabriel valley area I always saw and heard the wild parrots flying by. :o They're green and loud but about the size of a little pigeon.
Also, there are pelicans on the piers of the beaches. X) And in the mountians where my dad lives I've seen stellars jays and robins. :)
