You know, Nancy, this is the first time I've ever realized why they're called starlings. And your title gives that look on the bird's face its proper description. :)

...and he is a darling starling too Scorp! excellent capture! you are far better than I will ever be capturing birds - you should see my feeble attempts from yesterday - they had an area cordoned off with birdfeeders and I had lots of opportunities and nearly all of them were blurred or out of focus - I am not quick enough on the button or they have flitted as soon as I get them in focus! lol!
