Before social distancing
Back when strangers could meet at the communal baths without worrying about households and "bubbles". Well, at least back when birds still could meet, before we learned there was a new bird flu spreading around Europe.- Doc Duck

Winter spots
This Starling seems to be ready for winter with his spotty coat on, and some people seem to be quite keen for some snow. But I'm quite happy with autumn colours still. TTTW- delia todd

From a long series of puddle pics of Starlings and House Sparrows. I think I've shared even funnier ones from this series before.- Doc Duck

Crashed out
I'd got loads of young Starlings around at that time, think this was now the second batch of them to come out of the nest.- delia todd

Common Starling
Although they are an invasive species and I have stated my dislike for them many times, I will grudgingly admit, they can be pretty if you take a close look.- wonderview

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

Looks like he's pleased with how many berries are there for the taking. He gobbled a lot of them! I think they are elderberries.- wonderview

Yellow Bellied Sapsucker, Common Starling
I spread peanut butter on the trunks of this small maple. The bark is smooth and birds like starlings and Blue Jays can't cling to it and cobble at their leisure. However woodpeckers can. The Starlings and Jays have to hover for a bite, so you often end up seeing a scene like this.- wonderview

Common Starling Fledgling
I often see photos of Starling parents with 4 or 5 fledglings following them around. That is a rare sight here. Most of the time it's only one or two youngsters with the parents. I suspect young starlings are victims of heavy predation around here. This one seemed to be doing OK though.- wonderview

Common Starling
Some starlings will try to hang on the upside down feeders. Others, like this guy, will expend a lot of energy trying to hover beneath and grab a bite.- wonderview

Common Starling
This starling has gone fluffed up and spikey at me because it's annoyed with me. I put peanut butter out then stood guard over it so the smaller birds could get some. I wouldn't let the starling near it. It hopped from branch to branch fluffing its feathers and vocalizing all sorts of noises at...- wonderview

FIGHT!
Now that it's nesting season, the starlings are becoming a real feeder pest. They don't eat seeds but they do gobble down all the peanut butter and they ravage suet feeders. I resorted to homemade "upside down" suet feeders and that at least slows them down. They will hang for a moment...- wonderview

They come and raid the places I put peanut butter every now and then. Otherwise they aren't as annoying as they usually are lately.- wonderview

It was vocalizing, then looking around expectantly, then repeating. I think it was calling for its mate.- wonderview
