This is fabulous, Mary. I love all the detail on this precious bird. Darling starling, indeed. I like that.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Ginnie. A flock was feasting on apples.
Wonderful detail, Mary. (:o)
Mary MacADNski: Through a windw so happy for the detail. Thanks.
We don't seem to have had Starlings in the garden for the last few years. They are very entertaining birds, especially when they are squabbling over the feeders!
Mary MacADNski: A lot of people would say that the English could have some back. I like them but many do not.

Stunning detail, Mary. Was the starling having a good squawk at Bella?
Mary MacADNski: No, singing her little heart out with happiness at having found a bounty of apples.
A darling starling indeed. Very cute.
Mary MacADNski: I think they are pretty.
All in his winter dress - nice one, Mary
Mary MacADNski: An attractive dress, eh?

Great title!! Wonderful picture, love the surrounding of the bird. (Spreeuw in Dutch)
Love the blue sky in the back.
Hope you made it down the road yesterday! We had black ice too this morning, good thing it was gone when I had to go to work)
Mary MacADNski: The plow fellow arrived just after we talked. The ice stayed for two days though.
