It's not always the prettiest of birds that catches my eye. Patterns and bird behaviour is so much fun to watch and capture too. The bright light and the height of the perch helped a lot here.

I always like to strive for something pleasing about an image. Sometimes it's the clarity, or the intimacy, and sometimes it's the magical feeling. It's important to have something stand out. I'm not always successful at that but I usually try!
O bird of thorns .. your people had circled ...
in this blue sky .. and i don't know , where they are gone to ..

Chestnut-tailed Starling or Grey-headed Myna (Sturnia malabarica) is a member of the starling family of perching birds. It is a resident or partially migratory species found in wooded habitats in India and Southeast Asia.
The species name is after the distribution of a former subspecies in the Malabar region. This resident population has a white head and is often treated as a full species, the Malabar starling (Sturnia blythii).
DO YOU KNOW - Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture is the highest flying bird ever recorded. Flying at an altitude of 37000 ft.
Happy birding 🐦

In a "bird-rich" state like Florida, does the commonplace northern mockingbird deserve to reign as the official state bird?
According to the Florida Department of State Division of Historical Resources, the Mockingbird "is a superb songbird and mimic. Its own song has a pleasant lilting sound and is, at times, both varied and repetitive." The bird was put in place in 1927 under Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 3. The bird won over the Legislature in part because "the melody of its music has delighted the heart of residents and visitors to Florida from the days of the rugged pioneer to the present comer."
Someone else once wrote. "I am finishing this post the next day because I had to go buy a new computer after I threw my last one out the window when I read that Florida's state bird was the northern mockingbird. I cannot think of a more pathetic choice for one of the most bird-rich states in the nation. What's their state beverage, a half-glass of warm tap water?"
"The fact stands that four other states have the same official bird; Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas. It's as overused as the northern cardinal (five states) and the western meadowlark (six states), and some make the convincing argument that every state should have its own bird."
Who would have ever "thunk" the Mockingbird could stir up so much controversy. The debate still "rages"!
I found this controversial little one along Joe Overstreet Road in Osceola County, Florida preparing to share its pleasant lifting sound to the world.
