European Starling.
The hill was cold and blowy again this morning—although a little less cold and quite a bit less blowy than yesterday. Birds were about, but none would pose for photos. But on a trip to Rockport Village, I got a chance at a portrait of a European Starling. It was singing merrily (if a bit raucously) from a juniper twig.
