European Starling .....( Sturnus
vulgaris )

The Starling is a "blackbird" with a meadow-lark shape. In
spring they are iridescent with a yellow bill, and in winter
speckled with a black bill. They are not what I would call a
desired bird to have around. An introduced species, they live on
insects, seeds, and berries. Their voice is a tseeeer or whooee. The young are very
similar in appearance to a female Cowbird. They are found in
cities, and open country, or feeding on your lawn.
