Many people think they are European starlings, are you sure, Liam? I'm not sure about starlings because they don't look like that to me.

Here they are a few weeks later: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/999...
I'm not sure if this is what Sturmus vulgaris looks like.

I'm pretty sure those are European Starlings, Sturmus vulgaris. They are a problem invasive species that steals nesting habitat from native birds.

Ok thanks. Once I upload a picture of them a few years older, I will post the link to the spotting.

Could be a Northern Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos).

They were bluish gray the last time I saw them. I'm sure that doesn't help much. I'll dig and see if I can find a picture.

If you have a picture of the adult, we may be able to draw an ID.
