I think I could fill the whole month with shots of the starlings in the garden. It was really windy today so I think that might have put them off but the lovely mealworms were still a draw for these two.
Yesterday we had so many birds on the feeder it was impossible to get a decent shot, there were just too many. Mind you, I'm not complaining, they were entertaining to watch and I'm thankful for that at the moment!
Great shot, Christine, yes if you've nothing else to do, I am sure I could spend all day watching these.
With so many it's chaotic, I saw it last year, and watched it again this morning. Not seen any baby Robins yet, but quite few young Blackbirds, in all the mayhem, I watched a Blackbird feed a young Starling !!!!
With all the noise, it sees an array of bright yellow gapes, it just fills it !!
How fantastic is this -- and I just posted my grackle with a blurry grub worm in his mouth. When you wait to do a photo, how close are you to the starlings feeder?
@jyokota I sit in the kitchen with the door open and point my camera at the feeder which is about 8 feet away. As long I'm inside they're quite happy to sit on the feeder until all the worms are gone!
@inthecloud5 -- I must rethink where I position my feeders. At present, they are on the other side of the backyard from my back door so I have to be outside. I can see it from the screened porch but I'd have to cut a hole out of the screen.
