European Starling??

[POPPY POSEE]

I do believe this an European Starling that's been hanging around the last couple of days.This is the first time that I've seen one.

Yes that is what It is

100's of them around here. They will come in about another week or two and stay for about 2 weeks

I often wondered if they stop here on the way to somewhere else when they stay a short time

That's a young one Poppy, they loose the spots as they get older.

If these with spots are young ones, where are the parents to the kind that come here cause I get so many at one time every year.

They look full grown and look exactally as this one and people call them starlings or is there another bird like them?

I bet I get a 100 at one time and they come to th same spot every year

There is a huge spirea they flock around . I see them pecking at the ground around the sprirea

I can't see anything in the snow but guess they must see and eat something
