The image shows a European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) in flight among bare branches. These birds have glossy black plumage that appears iridescent green and purple in the light. In winter plumage, starlings are covered in white spots, which wear off by the breeding season in summer, leaving them dark and glossy. They are medium-sized birds with short tails, pointed wings, and long, sharp bills. The species was introduced to North America in the late 1800s and is now one of the continent's most numerous songbirds.
Me trying to land gently after one too many cups of coffee.
