Its a common sighting at this time of year. the gathering together of birds seen stretched out in a line on overhead wires.
A cropping of a closeup revealed these birds as Starlingsboth mature and young ones. I really like the appearance of this fluffy breasted looking one. I was surprised to see the white dots of its winter coat displayed so early.
I don't know what species(maybe BarnSwallows???) these little birds were but they were very active with their comings and goings sand balancing acts they performed on their landings as shown below
And just a glimpse outside from my back porch reveals a mixture of pastels of the mature blossoms in my garden.Outdoor Wednesday found at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/ is a delightful meme that invites you to share the outdoors with others.

ReplyDeleteI really dislike starlings and didn't know the white spots indicates a winter coat! I do think those might be tree swallows--like them a lot more than starlings.

Nice catch of the starlings. I love their glossy feathers even though they are nuisance birds.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that fluffy one knows something about an early winter?
Oh yes, the birds are gathering, and you know what comes next...That white stuff.
