Starling
I wasn't sure what kind of bird this was so I had to do a little research. It turns out it's a common starling (also know as a European starling). It gets those white spots during the winter months. I love the iridescence of his feathers.
Nice shot of him. this is a better one than in my bird book. They are noisy when they get together. I have noticed that when they come around our place, there are always some meadow larks with them.

Gorgeous colors! A darling of a starling!
I like the way the bird has cocked its head for you, a real poser. Great shot!

i love the iridescence, too. it's such a common bird that often its remarkable beauty is overlooked.
He is really hanging on to his perch. Nice photo.
Some beautiful colours on this Sharon. any PS work done on this?
Excellent image
Startling!
You have caught him in his glory!
What a beautiful bird!
The iridescence is what I notice, too. You had a good capture, Sharon.
Boy they sure are beautiful. First time I've seen one.
He's a little gem Sharon, gorgeous.
I think this is a lovely...and not an ordinary bird or starling. I love the iridescent feathers! Beautiful. Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
