European Starling
Uploaded: January 02, 2010
Starlings are aggressive toward native American species but are very beautiful. Imported about 1890. Photo taken on a cloudy, windy afternoon when the temperature was about 19C. A group of these birds swooped in and ate berries in the hedge. Canon 100-400mm lens, f5.0, ISO 400, with soft omni lighting effect in PSE.
