Beautiful iridescent colors!
Walter-They are very, very nice however I think its not the bird species as much as the perfect lighting, coloring and detail that really make this one pop. At least for me. I love them all regardless the name or beak size. "-)
My sincere thanks for all the favorites and kind words -- I NEVER imagined the Starling photo would produce so much positive feedback! Honestly, I think the photos of an Osprey that I posted on 15 December 2012 are SO MUCH BETTER than this photo. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/170...
