European Starling in mating Plumage Seen in a neighbor's tree. Back from the south for mating and summer. Technically, a tight crop, enlarged with OnOne Perfect Resize.
Enlargement My wife and I spent Saturday south of Vienna near the Neusiedl Lake. Overhead a bird was circling and crying "ki...ki...ki". I thought it must be a hawk. The insert shows my hand-held shot. The larger picture is after cropping, lightening, and sharpening. The bird's bill is too long and straight for a hawk. Any help in identifying it would be appreciated.
