Where did I get the idea it was an autumn bird? The starling has been around quite a bit awhile now.
The other day, I sketched one looking towards the top of a tree at Far End.
These birds, like the crows, don't hold still for very long. For today's picture, I tried to stare hard at two starlings so I could sketch them quickly and touch it up later, but for one of the birds, I ended up sketching only the shell, and it looks more like the outline of a sparrow than a starling.
I wonder if Starling chicks look a little like sparrows? I wonder if I can pretend? Nah...
