Very interesting markings on that bird. I don't think I have ever seen one, either. Excellent capture, Gerry.

This one looks a lot different then the ones we have around here Gerry. They are quite the nuisance bird in my neck of the woods. This is a very good photo with all the detail.

The starling is full of great detail. BUT, the bird is completely overshadowed by the red bloom. It should have been cloned out.

Great shot. It looks like its getting frost bite on the feathers. Personally, I like the contrast that the red berries provide.

Beautifully captured Gerry ... I like the markings on this starling & it stands out nicely on the soft blue background. Very well done.

I love the way the tip of the beak shows up the same color as the berries. Very nice.

This is terrific, who would have thought a starling could be so photogenic! Looks like it's wearing a beaded dress.
