Birds

This zoomed in photo doesn't have much information, but you can almost see a little of this Starling's color. 

Above is a Mourning Dove. They have white edged tails. 

Saw red winged blackbird first bird Monday. Today was a cardinal, then starling, then dove.

A birder says she sees the eagle once a month. Mentioned osprey.

Spring & Starlings

I saw a black bird, smaller with specs, looked it up and it said European Starling.

New book on Starling: Starlings: The Curious Odyssey of a Most Hated Bird by Mike Stark, reviewed in the Wall Street Urinal:

“...the species’ deliberate 1877 introduction to New York City by a wealthy “man of leisure” named Eugene Schieffelin, the scion of a pharmaceutical family and an avid student of birds.”

"Chasing the Ghost Bear (2022), writes in lavish detail of the ecological train wreck that swiftly followed as Schieffelin kept importing crates of starlings, as well as house sparrows, skylarks, nightingales and bullfinches.”
