As with most of you in our area, I am ready for the starlings to go somewhere else.

However, birds of any kind fascinate me. Look at those feet.

At first, I thought this was another starling, then I noticed the marking on its wing – the sign of a red-winged blackbird. However, the spots and light-colored marking made me google the possibilities and ask “What’s That Bird” on Facebook.

I thought maybe it’s an immature male red-winged blackbird, but “What’s That Bird” says it is a mature male.

Interesting what one sees and learns some days.
