All the European Starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, in North America are descended from 100 birds released in New York City in 1890 (Source: All About Birds). They are invasive and regarded as pests in many places, but they sure are handsome birds! This one has its non-breeding feathers. Their breeding feathers are darker and more iridescent.

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Happy New Year!

Northern Mockingbird, December 16, 2020

Wild Bird Wednesday and My Corner of the World

Click on the photo to see it as its best.

Tupelo, Mississippi, USA, December 8, 2020

Northern Mockingbirds, Mimus polyglottos, are members of the Thrasher family, and like other Thrashes are able to mimic whatever sounds they hear - other birds, dogs, cats, etc. They are 'northern' because they have southern cousins in South America.

Have a wonderful day!

Haliaeetus leucocephalus, Bald Eagles!

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, November 3, 2020
My Morning Glory Bush, Ipomoea fistulosa, bloomed in October and November, but I forgot to post a photo!

4. What I am Reading
I like detective stories and I like animal stories, so how could I resist "The Highly Effective Detective Goes to the Dogs" by Richard Yancey? And of course, I have to read the first book "The Highly Effective Detective" first. I am reading more books than usual this year. Are you reading more?

5. Spider (Saturday's Critters)
Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, October 14, 2020
I went back to October to find a critter for today - a spider eating lunch.

Have a wonderful day!
