In hiding

When out for a walk, I passed a tree that was full of starlings, so I went back home and got my camera. Although I could hear them, it wasn’t so easy to find them hiding in the tree.

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

Great Starling portrait light in your favor and a nice upfront pose.
Nice sharp image with a nice soft background love the soft catchlight on the eye.

They are gathering in large flocks right now in Ottawa to head down your way for the winter. You got a fine photo of this one.
