Love 'em or hate 'em, they're elegant birds.

Elegant, indeed, Tom! Excellent pose with the Starling looking back through the frame. Great job!

Tom, Luckily or not lucky, we do not have Starlings in South Texas. I agree with you that they do look good. Nice image.

I "hate'em" but having photographed them in Winter plumage with their spots and iridescence it's hard to deny them. Yours is a beautiful image that actually does make it look elegant with it's great pose and iridescence.

I love to see their murmurations, but hate them flocking to raid my feeders! You have certainly caught their best side with this fine image, Tom!
