Yesterday I mentioned that a large tree is beginning to obscure the view from my usual birding window, but that it does occasionally provide new photographic opportunities. A few days ago I noticed there was something moving around inside the canopy: eventually this Starling emerged and perched for a few seconds, allowing 3 quick shots before it flew. The bluish bill-base suggests it's a male.
Thank you for your kind comments on my pictures, and good birding!
