European Starlings... Beautiful shots Bob, you captured them quite nicely. But I have to tell you they (European Starlings), have become a problem at my bird feeders. They arrive in large numbers and consume much of the bird food. They, like all my other birds must survive the cold weather so I continue feeding them all.
they really are pretty birds. love the tiny hearts on their feathers.
ReplyDeletelovely series of photos
ReplyDeleteI didn't know starlings were so pretty. That first shot is outstanding (in the rain, chortle chortle...juvenile humor)
ReplyDeleteHi Bob,
ReplyDeleteStunning images of the starling.
These has the winter plumage.
Best regards, Irma
The winters plumage is stunning, thanks Irma.
DeleteAwesome shots- you really do capture the beauty of these birds. Have a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteWe don't get to see our starlings through the winter so I'm happy to see these beauties here.
ReplyDeleteThat must be really great, thanks Hilary.

ReplyDeleteThey really are beautiful birds, you did well to get these fantastic shots in the rain. I have never seen a Starling in the wild, but would love to.

ReplyDeleteCurioso su plumaje, nunca había visto ejemplares de estas aves.

Lo raro es ver a un estornino solitario, generalmente se mueven en grandes bandos de cientos de individuos.
