Sturnus vulgaris

 
 
 
                  "If you stay close to nature, to its simplicity to the small things hardly noticeable they become great and immeasurable."
                                                   ~Rainer Maria Rilke~
 
    Immeasurable is an understatement! The European Starling species number over 200 million in the United States alone. It is a bird that lives in large communal roosts. Seen here in winter plumage. This bird was introduce to North America in the late 1800's. Often an abundant pest in city parks, suburbs, and in my trees!
