January 8th 2017 – Starling – Sturnus vulgaris Linnaeus

I put some broken up pieces of bread out for the birds today (which isn’t really anything unusual for me, they’re so cute that I cannot resist feeding them) and I thought maybe if I am quiet enough this time I might be able to snap a nice picture. Not long after I put the bread out, the sparrows and starlings were munching away on the bread, seemingly happy. Until a big flock of seagulls (like 10 of them) came swooping in to steal the food! Don’t think I have ever had seagulls in my backyard in any other house I have lived in. Crazy! hehe!
