A beautiful set Karl.
The Starlings have lovely luminescent colours especially when contrasted with the snow and are much under-rated as a subject I think.
I put some up before and was very surprised that they are hardly liked at all across the pond.
The Tamron is looking real good with these sharp pics, congrats on your new lens.

Well well it's Martin! Hi buddy, great to hear from you and thanks for your visit. They just happened to be the subject of the day for me.
Karl
You got some great captures with that combo, Karl I know how much time you have spent to get the best of that lens soon.
These results are paying you back for all that time. I hope you'll be able to get all the potentiality of that lens.
Starling are challenging birds if you want to get their "hidden beauty" and you did great!

The lens is now history Socrate, it has good strengths, it needs good light, Ohio doesn't always offer that so going a different plan Not sure what will be the final outcome of the AF Servo tracking either.
Hidden beauty, that is a good way to put it...................
Thanks much
Karl
Excellent, Excellent work, Karl. I absolutely hate those pests. They really play havoc at the bird feeders. Your images suppressed those feelings. I especially like the second, and your edited image.
FYI:
From Wikipedia - "60 Common Starlings were released in 1890 into New York's Central Park by Eugene Schieffelin. ... The original 60 birds have since swelled in number to 150 million, occupying an area extending from southern Canada and Alaska to Central America."

Kind of hard to believe.

Hello Ed, glad my images took the edge off the abrasiveness of this species. I never see them at my feeders for some reason, maybe the food I offer is too upscale And maybe they are smart enough to realize that the neighborhood Coopers is always visiting my feeder too
Great to hear from you and thanks much!
Karl
