Last winter, I had the Starling woes! I got so tired standing by the LR window
and banging on it....They would all fly away--just to my trees--and sit there for
a few minutes ans come back. There were flocks of them!
Of course--last winter we had so much snow--they were pretty desperate...

So far--I have seen, maybe, a few individual Starlings pecking at my suet.
No more! I feel lucky so far! Better shut my mouth--they may be listening...

Here are a couple pictures from last winter,,,,
In a effort to distract them from my feeder--I threw out handfuls of cracked corn
further back on my back yard. They descended like a cloud--and the
corn was gone in minutes!
