European Starling: Kennebunk, Maine, USA, January 2026 — Of course, we do not like Starlings. They eat more mealworms than they need (they will continue to eat until there are no more mealworms), they take good nesting sites, they are noisy and messy, and aggressive toward other birds…but in the right light, there is no question that they are beautiful (in their own way). Stars of their own show. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 at 450mm equivalent field of view. Program with bird and wildlife modifications. Processed in Photomator.
