Nice shot. The bird's positioning and pose really work. Unfortunately it is not a starling either... It's a common grackle "Quiscalus quiscula" Starlings have yellow, much thinner bills. Technically a grackle is a "blackbird" because it is in the family "Icteridae" grackle: http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i5110id.html starling: http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/id/framlst/i4930id.html -- Christian [EMAIL PROTECTED]
