p.1 #1 · European Starling (lots of color)

I changes the title cuz folks told me what it is.

Lots of color, small bird

I have no idea what kind of bird this is but I do know he or she has lots of color. I went down to try and get some shots of crows walking and 5 of these guys showed up.

Interesting, we don't get many European visitors this time of the year.

European Starlings are beautiful - but a pain as they take over the neighborhoods from all the other birds. I'm doing my best not to invite them on the property.

Well exposed & # 4 is my top pick

They do have beautiful reflections off their feathers Roger and as you have illustrated but they are a much maligned bird and considered a pest also.

Nice job on these Roger

We have them in flocks of 100's, they are something to see as they head to roost in the evening. They fly in a tight flock twisting and turning in a beautiful aerial display.

Nice job bringing out the colours Roger. Seeing them probably means civilization is creeping closer.

I only see them near the cities. (They'll make greal eagle food.)
