Bird Watching: European Starling - Sturnus vulgaris, 1 by Grasmussen

I had been wanting to add the European Starling to my digital photo collection. This afternoon while trying to photograph Waxwings, I found two large flocks of birds, one of each species. The flocks were rather loosely associate, spread over four city blocks. The birds were constantly moving in small groups. Sometimes, birds of both species were perched in the same tree. We only have six hours of daylight now, and every day is shorter than the one before. The sun is low in the southern sky at midday, not the best conditions for bird photography. I was on the east side of the Starlings in this picture at 2:10 PM, but they are nearly silhouettes.
