Starling Murmuration
Twisting, turning, swooping, SWIRLING Starlings just before dusk Forms patterned cloud ILLUSION Coming together as single Thousand minds as one Act in an instant Who trains them all? Who leads them all? RUSTIC charm of birding Brings rare joy sighting SILENCE seems to EMANATE In ambience of forest SYNTHETIC life in city Never helps to BLOSSOM TIMELESS calm of Nature - A price above priceless. ...

Starling on an Electric Power Line
Lined up they perch in spaced formation, ready to take fright and scatter should a roving hawk approach too near. I don't know why they seem insulated from the deadly current, or why they make such a reckless target for the raptors. A cat looks at them from a city pavement. I do know what it is thinking. The differing spaces between the starlings could be musical notations. A...

Murmerations
Squeaks shrieks and whistling chirps mixed with mimicry, colourful spotted speckled iridescent darlings Pixilated torturous waves at dusk mesmerising murmurations escaping the day starlings, self-pursued sardines of the sky flowing contorting distorting, fly....

Premium Member The Starling of Spring With Shakespearean Subplot
Plucked from Shakespeare and plopped in Central Park, Sturnus vulgaris, the mimic, conquered New York. It made it there, You know it made it everywhere; The continental stage stolen. And here on my fence amid this tragedy To be blessed with a modicum of bliss; The sparkling spring songster with his treasured chest pumping my missing birds song list. 22.04.18 Craig Cornish's Spring -...

Starling
Little starling, perched in your woody heights, kneading thy wet wings, and gloating with song ----- Then flying off to some far shore: Is it envy that I feel?...

I Am a Starling
I am part of a display team we don't practice, we all just know to twist and turn together, as we put on our aerobatic show. This display is called a murmuration the visual delight, showing no fear. The oohs and aahs of the watchers as the birds shows you autumn is here We are noisy birds seemingly never alone our green brown plumage with buff...
