European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) - 02Apr2017

Whoever tagged the latin name on this beauty obviously did not have as favorable an opinion of them as I do.  Not only are these birds beautiful but they can sing....  Apparently Mozart had a pet Starling and he actually wrote music based on the song of his bird.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart's_starling
One of these days I will see one of the infamous giant shapeshifting flocks in Europe that Starlings will sometimes form.
This one was photographed in Carolina Beach, NC.
