Time flies when a person is busy and has a life occupied with all kinds of activities or things to do. It came to my mind when I saw the group of European Starlings which looked far too familiar in their moves and the manner of acting round the feeders. Of course! These guys are the same group that used to hang out when they were fledglings! They have grown into their normal plumage and are ready for he world but love to be in a group. I just suppose they might be family related too!
I wonder if they will return next year when they come back from their migration…I wouldn’t mind! After all they are my birds, born and raise in my backyard, aren’t they?
I’m happy that all of them look healthy and strong. They are indeed full of energy and ready to represent their generation and contribute to the continuation of their main collective.

I know they are considered “pests” but I admire them for their lovely summer plumage!
