Very nice. Though they are not one of my favorite birds, you make them look attractive!

Gorgeous, Rick! Very creative with the perch. A picture of a gorgeously colorful bird somehow is degraded when you see the perfectly formed 1/2" dowel rod they're perched on.

Excellent clarity and bokeh! Thanks for sharing.

Quite interesting birds and impeccably photographed. We have tons of Starlings around where I live in Springfield, OR, or at least what we call Starlings. Ours look quite a bit different from those pictured. Our Starlings are quite ugly; they're completely black, like a Raven or a Crow, and have an ivory colored bill and a white eye. They're quite the pest around here so they're a bit unpopular.

Fantastic! 3rd is my absolute favorite. For a minute I wondered if we were going to see European firemen...... ;-)
