Starlings

 Okay, so I know starlings are a non-native invasive species...

But it always surprises me how their plumage is so beautifully varied in colour. Blues and greens with polka-dots.
I had eight of these guys show up this cold morning looking for breakfast.

  1. Great photos Ronna! We had a couple of starlings at our feeders yesterday in the storm. First time I have seen them in awhile.

  2. I love their speckles, the ones in California didn't have such prominent speckles.
