The Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada say online that the Dark-eyed Junco was the most reported feeder bird  in Canada and the USA during the 2017 / 2018 season.   The two countries, combined, were divided into six geographic areas and sightings were reported for each of these areas.   Not surprising was the fact that most feeder sightings (6,886) were recorded in the northeast parts of both countries, while the next highest number was (1,466) in the southeast United States.   The total number of all geographic areas for juncos was 11,512 feeder locations.   Chickadees were second overall.   More numbers and details can be found online, including some very large-sized birds.
