Not a great fit.

It is funny watching the starlings at the feeder. A little bit like papa bear trying to eat out of baby bears bowl. But they manage. Thought I'd play with bw so I could post one picture to bw February. I just don't have the patience to do it for a month. Thanks for all you comments lately. I am still trying to get caught up on my commenting but was distracted by the birds at the feeder and got out and took some pictures in the Mill yard again.

Too big for the feeder? That never stopped a starling! How nice that you've got food set out for them!
