When I see something like this, you can't stop me from commenting. What a sensational looking bird and what a wonderful capture too, Jen. It's almost like he sat right there waiting for you to depress the shutter button! lol

Enjoy your holiday as well.

Nice to have you back Jen. The starlings we have are like the Lion said, pretty ugly. They're considered more a nuisance around here. If they were as lovely as the one you have posted I'm sure that opinion would change. Excellent composition. Merry Christmas to you and yours Jen.

Oh yeah...love that eye. It's striking. That's a starling? I had no idea they were that colorful. Good to see you posting again. Great capture.

Busy? What, me busy? I don't let that happen. What in the world is that bird staring at? Probably a girlfriend, or boyfriend, whichever applies. Maybe the photographer is telling him to "Watch the birdie," so he decided to focus in on it. Very nice shot, Jen. Merry Christmas.

Great shot: it seems you disturbed the little guy in the middle of something. The bird colors are magnificent.

Give the bird 2 six shooters and a Stetson and you got the Woods Sheriff ;-)

What a "superb" starling. Did you photograph this in Africa? I read that they are as common in some places in Africa as robins are here. What a treat!
Hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.

Wow, this is an amazing shot. The colours of that starling is amazing. I've never seen one of those colours. Where in the world was this taken?
