Not sure wether to use a confused reaction, a sad reaction(why? I don’t like Starlings… or do I…), or a good old like. Edited January 30 by Snake Fingers I went with a like.

Weren't they introduced because someone had the bright idea to bring a male and female of every bird mentioned in Shakespeare's plays into Central Park, NY? Hence the European Starling, the House Sparrow, and the Eurasian Collared Dove (and others I can't remember) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacMe Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Like many of you, whenever I see starling that would make a good photo, I don't have my camera at the time, but then I don't go out of my way to get a good one because "I'll get them next time".

I live in the country.I live on a homestead/farm and have only ever seen one flying over my house. If I drove about ten miles down the road, there is a church where a few of them nest every year.

I was going through some of my old photos, and I deleted many of them because of how crappy my cropping was (along with the quality of the pic.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Good morning, Whatbirders! I think @Kevin is back to his regular duties but since he didn't explicitly terminate my license, I'm going to sneak in one more time before he wakes up and tells me to knock it off.
