feeding the little ones

I thought we had a new kind of visitor on the lawn until I saw Mama Starling feeding them. I was surprised, and excited, that she chose to do it so close to the house. I snapped a few shots that evening and forgot about them until Hubby told me that he had taken their picture the next morning before work. :)

A wonderful photo of Mama Staring and her kids.:-)
Isn't it fantastic being able to watch her feeding her youngsters?

Lots of greetings

Great photo of the Starling family. Those young ones look to be a different color from the adult.

I don't think I've ever seen baby starlings before. Great family portrait there!

She's a good mother .... I'm not wild about starlings over here, because they're invasive, but I bet they belong in your yard!
