Maybe the starling, a most hated bird, deserves a second look. My #EuropeanStarling photograph is featured in today’s The Record/USA TODAY NETWORK-NJ in Jim Wright’s #BirdWatcher column. Photography can document #wildlife, spark curiosity, and change how we see the natural world @aba.org @nature.org

Why so grumpy? This #EuropeanStarling looks intense. For today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #Iridescence. "Covered in white spots during winter, they turn dark and glossy in summer. For much of the year, they wheel through the sky and mob lawns in big, noisy flocks," Cornell Lab says. #AmherstMA
