A handful of these showed up today, not interested in the feeder, but sort of drilling into the sod for something.

Don't think they are starlings. Look more like some kind of Jay?

They're juvenile European Starlings, hatched this spring. Turning from their juvenile brown to adult back with speckles.

Otherwise known and pellet-gun targets.

The one on the left is Zoot...the one on the right is her twin sister Dingo...they are actually identical twins, but that won't be evident until they are older.

Gah. Starlings.

Thanks, hadn't thought about juveniles.

Non-native Starlings are evil. They push out other birds from their habitat like the Northern Flicker.
