"Superb Starling"

While birds such as this are sometimes called 'Starling', they are actually members of the Grackle family. European Starlings are a nasty bird, one I very much despise. Yours is definitely NOT a Starling.

Grackles on the other hand are much more attractive but in large numbers (Texas) can be problematic.

We have a talented bird photographer in our community who has taken some amazing photos of birds in our local area. Here is a recent one he took of a starling.  I agree with Steve, not a starling fan but they are pretty birds!

I didn’t recognize the “Superb Starling” as the starling I know, so I looked it up. “Superb Starling” is the name of that particular bird found in parts of Africa.

"B-52 flyover today ..."

Ahh, those beautiful big birds! I know what it's like to live among them. There was a Squadron on Guam where I was stationed whose sole purpose was to fly from there to Vietnam during those days. They would launch over the cliff and disappear out of sight until finally they would reappear way out over the ocean. Thrilling!   :o

Needed a day away from home so drove over to Half Moon Bay. It was a beautiful day. We walked the Coast Trail. Not to many people out until around 1pm but by then we were done and heading back towards home.

BUF.  Big Ugly F__ker.   I never thought of them as that "big".   They are not like C141 let alone C5 big.  But they are effective.  And I don't really think of them as Ugly.   But if your on the other side and can't stop them the third word is likely not out of line.

Went for a walk around the neighborhood and took a few shots of some local wildflowers. These are called Indian Paintbrush.

Busy with my Covid summer project. Milling the wood so I can start building another pole barn like the one I already built. I must have too much stuff.

Everyone should have their own saw mill, they really come in handy to keep idle hands busy!  :D
