RE: Feathered Friday - A Cold Visitor

Starling with snow on its bill, this is an awesome shot.
Here the starlings move somewhere else in winter and return in spring. They are amazing singers. Always confuse me with other birds calls. Several times I thought I hear an oriole and turns out to be a starling.

Sort:  

It was snacking on the snow while trying to warmup, probably a bit counterintuitive. I've seen videos of people who have them as pets and they can learn words. Its probably easy for them to mimic an oriole.

Amazing, isn't it? Watching that video it reminds me how often I hear them whistle. Oh, once a starling meowed. That was the weirdest tning. 😄

I can see why someone brought enough of them here as pets.
