If I had a Hammer!

Starlings are accomplished mimics, they can confuse bird watchers by imitating the calls of many other birds.
They have a bright yellow bill to compliment their iridescent breeding plumage.

Thanks for stopping by.

Interesting story. Well captured

[Diane]

Great capture, I'm interested to find out what type of food that is, it looks like a muffin maybe?

[Islandgirl]

@dianeburns no wrong guess Diane it's actually suet (fat) that I got at the grocery store.

[Diane]

@radiogirl I was thinking it looked very heavy for a muffin! haha So birds like suet?

[Harbie]

Really interesting markings! Great capture!

[❀ Lynn]

And the markings on their feathers always remind me of knitting!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot!

[Islandgirl]

@dianeburns yes chickadees, woodpeckers, starlings, crows, ravens and Blue Jays they all like suet unfortunately so do bears and raccoons which we have to be careful of!!

[Brianna]

A wonderful capture of this bird! Love the focus and details on the bird. They sure are clever birds, tricksters, but clever! :)

它在吃什么？In what to eat？

[Islandgirl]

@liuting suet (fat from the butcher)

[Taffy]

I like that it's a bird in action...and so clearly detailed.

[Michelle]

Great capture.

[Gena Pegg]

Your bird shots are always so wonderful...put mine to shame. Great close ups and detail. And always in such great situations for stories! Love this!

[Lois]

Beautiful focus on the feather details!

[Kathie]

Lovely shot although I don't like starlings. They are aggressive and push other birds away.

[Call me Joe]

Cool capture!
