From my apartment I can usually only see Jackdaws and Rooks, and the occasional Fieldfare. Biking to uni the most common species are probably Greenfinch, Nuthatch, Wood Pigeon, Starling, Blackbird and Tree Sparrow. Great and Blue Tits are also pretty much everywhere. Those are the ones that can be seen almost all year round (except for the Starlings and Wood Pigeons). In summer there's many more, such as Swifts, House Martins, Willow Warblers and White Wagtails. There's quite a lot of birds in the city actually!

Jackdaws. If I ever failed to see one around here, I think I would become worried. Long live the 'daws.

Pied Crow

Common Bulbul
Grey-headed Sparrow

Probably 30+ are guaranteed every day species.

I read somewhere that the most abundant bird in PA is actually ovenbird...

In suburban Allentown where I live it seems to be cardinal, house sparrow, blue jay, robin, MoDo, BC chickadee, goldfinch, American crow, starling.

If I travel 1/2 mile to the nearby park, I add titmouse, nuthatch, downy and red-bellied woodpecker. Plus junco and white-throated sparrow in winter, or pewee, red-eyed vireo and wood thrush in summer.
