Ahhhhhhh!   This bird is precious!   

Love their coloring.

I'd root for anyone other than the 48! He was actually whining to Chad Knaus throughout the race. How much more can he do for him other than drive the car! Ungrateful such and such.

Grackles are all black with irredescent heads and beaty yellow eyes, This is absolutely a starling.

  Here we go again with Jimmy Johnson! At least Smoke got a top ten finish.

On the last page of the sports section in this mornings Democrat and Chronicle is an article about our Rochester falcons.

 

     They're amazing!   

That eye contact thing is interesting. When I lived in the country(Hamlin,NY) I had problems with them devouring my suet and pooping purple on everything. I had to stop putting it out! They also love taking baths. They are quite entertaining to watch but can be a real nuisance.

I don't know why. Sometimes they just look darker. Maybe it has something to do with what they eat or the lighting? Maybe a bird expert out there can tell us.   

It's definitely a starling Donna.

Awesome!!!!!!     

     I'm with you Donna. I love a good nor'easter!!!     

    Donna, you're the bomb!   

    As long as humans keep wild animals in captivity this sort of tragedy is going to occur.. Too bad for the woman and the orca
