This little guy stopped by for awhile. He looked like he was having a bad day - if for no other reason than he was by himself. Starlings are usually found in flocks and will fly w/ birds of other 'persuasions' rather than be alone. This starling is in his non-mating plumage of spots and brown feathering. As breeding season nears his beak will turn yellow and he will become a shiny iridescent black. Starlings stick around year-round. Their usual fare are insects but obviously that's not a choice in winter. They manage this time of year by eating live-stock feed and garbage. Maybe he got hold of some bad garbage?
