Starlings
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Starling song is quite complex, including a series of whistling notes, chatter and a clear “wolf” whistle.
Starlings belong to the family of birds which includes vocal mimics known as myna birds.
Starlings are adept at exploiting urban, suburban and agricultural settings. They are one of only a few birds that tolerate areas of high humane density and disturbance.
Starlings have wide-ranging food tolerances though they prefer insects. Spring flocks of starlings often descend on lawns much to the dismay of homeowners who feel they are doing damage when in fact, they are consuming insect pests and doing the homeowners a big favor.
It is common to see starlings around dumps and landfills and many specialize in picking through open dumpsters and trash bags.

Hi Dan,
Beautiful starlings lining up on that branch. Fine sharp details captured so well against the spotless blue sky. Well done and have a great weekend.
