Here he comes, center of picture
Look closely, there is a starling who just left the suet feeder heading right towards the camera. The yellow beak is in the center of the black body, and the out stretched wings are very blurry. We see the starlings getting a beak full of suet and flying off to, we assume, their nests. According to one of our resources the young starlings should be leaving their nests anytime now.

Sometimes they come very close to you which happened in my backyard a couple of weeks ago. Two birds were chasing each other, they flew over my head so close that I could hear the air passing over the wings and body!

Sometimes you wonder how they miss running into things!

They do run into things, a bird crashed into the window at my dad’s the other day. I have one bird buried in my backyard after hitting the bedroom window, so sad.

Windows are a definite danger to birds, that is for sure.

We don’t have starlings that I know of. They were aggressive beggars in Paris, France.

You are very fortunate to not have starlings. They are aggressive and can be obnoxious if they find a way into any structure for nesting.

I love the iridescent feathers on starlings. They are smart birds, too.
