The Dinky Line Trail
A short trail tucked between offices and train tracks gave me more than I expected—dragonflies and turtles, doves, an osprey, and a crowded log of sliders. -

Starling on the Wire
Like most people, I love it when someone shares one of my images or posts—whether by reboosting or embedding it. But yesterday, I came across one of my images on BlueSky, posted by someone who claimed it as their own. Curious, I visited their profile and noticed several other images that I recognized from creators I follow on BlueSky.
I asked the person why they had done this, and their response was simple: they liked the image. Honestly, I’m torn between feeling flattered and frustrated—maybe it’s possible to feel both at once.
Anyway, this is an image of a European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) that I spotted yesterday while adventuring with Charlie. Starlings are an invasive species in North America, introduced in the 19th century. Now, their population has exploded to an estimated 200 million—so that cat is well and truly out of the bag.

A little under a year ago I bought a used #NikonZ7ii. And it’s mostly been a pain in the butt. #Mirrorless photography isn’t fun. Again dealing with soft images. Assumed lens problem so I put it on my old beloved D7200.
Nope. Lens is OK. So it’s the body or maybe my rough handling has messed up the FTZ adapter. Anyway, here’s a dumb invasive (but still pretty!) European Starling from my old trusty d7200. (Straight off camera and cropped. I don’t do much editing)

Good morning. 🌳🐦☕
3 December 2024
It's babble day.
Imagine what you would think in 1974 if you saw somebody with an iPhone, using the flashlight in the dark. It would be an odd sight, if you were paying attention. You were a sci-fi fan you might think "Tricorder," a device built by Wah Ming Chang a prop designer for the original Star Trek TV series. The problem is that the iPhone is too small to me a Tricorder. It also is too sleek to be a Star Trek communicator, which looked like the flip phones of half a century later. I wonder where things will be in another 50 years. On a related subject William Shatner is 93 years old and still has a TV show.

Apparently it’s critter day here. 2/2
I believe the elegant fellow on the branch is a settler colonialist European Starling.

Two juvenile birds, just gaining their adult plumage, battle over a birdfeeder. Common Grackle and European Starling.

Starlings
These are a couple of European Starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) that I saw one day while driving home from an appointment. I try to always have a camera with me. I thought that they were some sort of blackbird, but examining the photos, I see that I was wrong.
Despite what the next quote says, I've yet to see a starling at my feeders.
"This species often comes to bird feeders." - allaboutbirds.org
I don't post all of the photos that I post here to my Pixels gallery, but I post the photos I like best. Some don't make the cut. I usually wait a couple of days and see how I feel about it then.
