    They certainly have beautiful irridescent plumage when you see them up close. Nice shots.

    Thanks, Scott. While considered a pest, they are, nonetheless, quite beautiful when viewed close up. And, hey.... everybody's got to eat :)

    I agree. Starling, sparrows and blackbirds have their own particular beauty and interesting habits.
