Or is this profile better?
I couldn't decide, so I posted both. I was quite taken with how the iridescence shifted with his poses.- Doc Duck

Common (European) Starling
Grey Squirrels are notorious for stripping bark off trees, but this Starling in search of nest material seems equally guilty. Thank you for your comments on my pictures, stay safe and well, and good birding! John- Jonno52

Starling braking to enter nesting cavity
Two nesting cavities at top of utility pole near my home, both occupied by European starlings. Had been noticing starlings flying toward the top of this pole as I was walking home from the park, wondered why I didn't see them on top of the pole as I got closer; finally realized they were flying...- vingio54

SF - Woops!
I was shooting this one stretching downwards for a birch catkin when it lost its balance and shot out a wing to recover. Made for a better picture.- Doc Duck

I think I'll manage to catch up today, in between shopping, making apple butter, and guests for dinner (husband is cooking dinner this time, and the pie for afters is already baked) - so here comes an SF series about eating difficulties.- Doc Duck

First signs of Fall
This was late August. The birch leaves were just starting to turn yellow and the Starlings were just starting to gather for their flight southwards. Yesterday I posted a set of shots on Facebook of various brilliant Fall colors we still have on display around town - bright yellow birches, red...- Doc Duck

Got one!
A lot of the birds were immatures, at various stages of moulting into adult plumage. I think I have one with just one baby feather still showing and I know I have another with a full head and neck of baby brown. They all seemed to have what in Norwegian is called "nringsvett" (wisdom enough to...- Doc Duck

Contortionist
My best shots of the Starlings were of the ones feeding on berries in a Whitebeam tree. The sun was right on the tree, lighting up all those bright red berries and green and yellow foliage, and often the birds were perched out in the clear working a cluster of berries in full view.- Doc Duck

Playing Woodpecker
We're having lovely weather here this week - "Indian Summer". So after my Tuesday gym session I hiked over to the Moholt cemetery to see what birds were about. I decided to share a few shots from that session before going back to my chronology. So what did I see at the cemetery? I...- Doc Duck

And finally, on my way from one body of water to the next, there was a flock of Starlings, many of them feeding youngsters, on a lawn.- Doc Duck

Young ruffian
This young Starling was hanging over a pair of Dutch tourists, probably hoping to berate them into dropping some of their lunch where he could grab it.- Doc Duck
