A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Sturnus vulgaris
I saw these guys all over DC and NYC and being a girl from Texas, I've never seen them before and they intrigued me. What are they??
definitely a european starling. they could be grouped inlarge, noisy flocks. the domestic species of bird have declined since the introduction of that starling: they could be aggressive and the group is a strength.
I going way out on a limb here, but maybe a Starling. They often fly in large 'swarms' of birds dipping and turning frequently. They should also have a distinct sound.
