Dining among the skeletons

I just couldn’t resist including this picture of a starling feeding between the two (fake) skeletons in my next-door neighbor’s yard, a cat on the left and a human skeleton on the right. They used to be for Halloween, but now he leaves them up all year round.

Queenie under the cherry blossoms, posted earlier:

Nice capture. They are pretty, but not welcome here. They compete with the native bluebirds and red-headed woodpeckers for nesting holes.

This is a cool capture.

It seems oblivious and only wants the food! Sweet!

A bit bizarre for spring decoration but the starling doesn't seem to mind.
