these guys arrived, and as long as they can find the tiniest speck of a mealworm or fruit, they will stay, upsetting the harmony in the backyard. I know people love Starlings, and they can be fun to watch but they are also quite the handful. I never had to clean the bird bath more often than in the last couple of days. They love to take baths on the coldest days for some reason, making the lens freeze over and soiling the water. I did get some workout done just getting dressed to go outside so often, and some fun photos (that bird has an icicle beard!). Stay warm and enjoy the rest of the holidays!
