European Starling Chaos Extravaganza

About a week ago, Steve rushed up to our game room to tell me there were new birds at the feeders, so I ran down to see! These gorgeous birds are European Starlings, and are part of a flock of about 20 birds. They fly together and are quite a sight to see as they swoop into the sky and down to the ground in a tight, raucous pack. We have been taking pictures of them from our kitchen window whenever they come by and their quick movements make them a challenge to capture! I'll be posting pictures that come out in the next week or so.
