In Search of Snowbirds | Starling

In Search of Snowbirds | Starling   The Common Starling’s winter coat displays many colors as the winter light shines through it.  Their feathers make a winter day more colorful.  They are loud, boisterous, loud birds that travel large flocks. They eat mostly insects and fruit. And, they are messy birds; leaving discarded berries from our crabapple tree, everywhere.

The Back Story  Some days the image comes to you.  This simple click was captured during lunch.  With part of a large flock in our crabapple tree, capturing a decent image was relatively easy.
