Great set. The ones with the darker BGs i.e. 1 to 3 are my picks - just something about all the white that I want to avoid

TFS.

Karl, I like the behaviour in #5 and the colour. I don't see any difference between your first and the Tim influenced last. Love the colours though; breeding plumage already! I think all my starlings froze to death!
I didn't know they ate sumac. I thought that was robins and bluebirds! Don

The bird should look the same Don.........but the stick emanating from its back and sides should be invisible now

Lovely set Karl, This is the first starling I've seen eating naturally and not destroying a bird feeder. #1 and 3 are my picks of this colorful set.


I never see them at my feeder Herb. Maybe I need sumac to attract them
Thanks for the picks Mr Raptor!

I never shoot starlings, but you just may have changed my mind. Stellar, Karl.

They are worth the effort as are Grackles, Cowbirds and Crows etc. Something to practice on for when the RWBB's return!
Thanks for visit and kind comment

A super set Karl, and you managed to sneak in a few flowers too... You have some great colors, and great poses too. I'm not sure MAing the combo would give you much improvement, but I'd do it anyway. ~ Ron


Hey Ron I'm loooooong overdue for florals buddy! I agree, this may not need MA but always worth the look. Thanks for the kindness my friend

Karl, those are wonderful shots, you scored in spite of winter mess. Those little pests do have some gorgeous colors mixed in.


I was happy to see them in the light and at this bush with some color, a nice surprise! Thanks much
