Welcome visitor

I saw this starling high up in a tree near our house. Can’t really get out much to take pictures these days, so hopefully more birds will visit our block!

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Confession: I have been known to add eye glints!

Isabel Cutler		22-Mar-2020 00:37
Lovely feather detail in this difficult to shoot bird. I like that you got the metallic color, too as well as an eye glint. All bird photos need eye glints! V.
