Description
Unknown what kind of bird this is but he sure has some great feathers. He sat for a long time watching me and watching the other birds eat, then one of the squirrels spooked him and he flew away. I have not seen him since.
***many thanks to Alz2008 (Aled) who identified the bird and was kind enough to point me to a great page of info:

I have hundreds of these in my yard daily but because of distinct coloring did not realize they were all starlings!
I am behind on comments, will try to catch up today. Thanks for looking and for previous comments and favs!

Very nice, my friend! sorry i havenm't been commenting, been on the move like mad! will try to catch up later on in the week.... well done, and can't wait to see more!! :)
Wonderful shot, Lynn. Pretty little fella for sure. The white spots on the black body looks beautiful. A magnificent singer just like the blackbird. A hundred of those can sing out loud i bet #:o)+5
Nice capture, well done..
Lovely composition, Lynn. I like the contrast between leaves and steel fence. The bird is a Starling.
Yes, Lynn....this is the younger version of the starling. Each year they would rob the garden of our corn as it sprouted .... not a wanted bird here ;.)Great capture.
nice bird. I don't know the french name. I'll make a research on Google
Great capture!
They always remind me of Cockney barrow boys, in all their pearly king get-up! This is their winter clothes. My brother has them in great numbers, whereas, only 1 mile away, i never see them!
we have thousands not hundreds .they roost under the river bridge at night and can blacken the sky in daylight .not my favorite bird lol :o) mick
Starling to confuse me a bit :)...Great shot Lynn, IM me on how you are now..Better?
Fantastic colors and details. Excellent shot
Great Capture Lynn!!!
