European Starling 3028
European Starling 3028

From Cornell Labs: "First brought to North America by Shakespeare enthusiasts in the nineteenth century, European Starlings are now among the continent’s most numerous songbirds. They are stocky black birds with short tails, triangular wings, and long, pointed bills. Though they’re sometimes resented for their abundance and aggressiveness, they’re still dazzling birds when you get a good look." I couldn't have said it more perfectly. This non-breeder pauses for a drink at my local park watering hole, #7 of the 9 different species I photographed within the hour I hung out there that morning.
