VERY NICE! One doesn't realize what colors a Starling has til they see shots like this.

Very well composed images Gary .... Have to disagree with you about the Starling though ... I the right light they are one of my favorite birds to photograph .... they have such an outstanding rainbow of colors

Thanks! Their manners are beastie, Bob. ;) And, when they swarm over a feeding station driving out everything else, I ain't too wild about it. heheheh Not saying they aren't extremely photogenic because they certainly are. :)
