they teach me tolerance for which I'm thankful.
They come in a flock.
They ward off the other birds.
And have an obnoxious squawk!
And yet they are so beautiful to gaze at.

ReplyDeleteI never thought about being thankful for starlings. You have given me a new look at this otherwise annoying bird.
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty bird!
ReplyDeleteIt looks similar to the Grackles I see here
Have a great day!
Hello!:) WOW! I would spend time watching them too, they are beautiful. They look different from the Starlings I see here. Thanks for sharing.:)
ReplyDeleteOops - typo. It's a Grackle. I do that all the time.
ReplyDeletewhat great photos!!
ReplyDeleteEspecially beautiful against the snow!! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteI always like to see them too, though some don't! Thanks for linking up today!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. They are beautiful, but I really don't want them around my yard, but they come anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think we should all slow down and watch the 'common' things around us that we take for granted because they are in such large numbers. I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteThey do all that you say ... and are still God's creatures ... thanks for helping me have an attitude of gratitude with these fellows!
ReplyDeletethey have their ways but still beautiful :)
