European Starling ~ Breeding Adult by 


Sweetwater Wetlands,
Tucson, Arizona
Canon Powershot SX10IS 3-30-2010

Introduced to Central Park, new York City, in 1890, European Starling quickly spread to become one of the most widespread of all North American birds. It is an astonishing resourceful, omnivorous species, able to occupy just about any habitat – from urban downtown areas and landfills to open woodlands, where it displaces native species from cavities.

Large roosts and feeding flocks of starlings form in fall and winter; they often forage among blackbirds in open fields.

VOICE SONG a grating, gargling concatenation of trills, squals, whistles, and imitated sounds and songs of other species. CALL a harsh, rolling splllrrr

My goal is to get my name out there among the vast ocean of Natural photographers. To be known for my skill with a Point & Shoot~

My images are not photo shopped. They have only been adjusted with basic sharpening, contrasting & saturation techniques. I believe that in order to appreciate Nature, you have to capture it as it is, naturally.
