European Starlings were introduced in North America and took over habitat of some native birds so they are not well liked in that regard, but they are interesting with a textured-looking plumage this time of year.
What a fabulous page Jean, love the textures you used here, and awesome work with the drop shadowing! Starlings are an introduced species down here as well, and while I don't particularly like them, their colours are so pretty when they are in the sunlight!
