louhand Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #1 · Need Bird ID Hi I don't usually shoot birds, but I was Union Square Park in NYC when I saw a bird that wasn't a pigeon but bigger than a sparrow. I would appreciate any help IDing this and also whether it is a local bird. Thanks. Feb 10, 2008 at 08:25 PM

Nancy Asquith Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #8 · Need Bird ID The story is that starlings were brought over from Europe in the early 1890's as part of a plan to bring to Central Park NYC all the birds Shakespeare mentions. They have since proliferated. They are one of maybe 7 bird species I can recall from growing up in Queens Co. (maybe 10 miles from Union Square): pigeons, sparrows (primarily house sparrows), starlings, gulls, crows, robins and blue jays. Feb 11, 2008 at 07:47 PM

I was down near Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn and there are tons of these guys. But they seem to get along with these guys, Raven, I think. Feb 18, 2008 at 01:14 AM

Andrew Strain Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #12 · Need Bird ID Great photo of a dirty pest of a bird. Theres a reason people get paid to kill the evil little things... they're a scourge upon agriculture and indigenous bird populations. Feb 18, 2008 at 04:10 AM
