Not Everyone's Favorite Bird

In the fall, they come in noisy hordes.

Their song is a monotonous, repetitious, constant squeak/squeal.

They aggressively push out songbirds at the feeders.

 

But, their iridescent feathers and spotted breast are beautiful in their Spring plumage. When there's only one of them, that is. :-)

 

European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris. Seen at Lake St. Clair Metropark.
