Though they’re sometimes resented for their abundance and aggressiveness, they’re still dazzling birds when you get a good look.

I took this photo at the old Frisco Station in Fort Smith, Arkansas.

This is my favorite bird photo EVER! If this little guy is anything like the European Starlings that inhabit our backyard, then he probably just got done taking a nice bath

What a great photo you’ve taken here, showing all the nuances of color when the light hits them just right.
