When we saw them, the Metallic Starlings were very active with feeding their nestlings. They nest in colonies, so there was constant activity. I noticed than one adult routinely staged in the same place before fly to and entering its woven nest. I was able to get this shot of the staging bird.

Many thanks, Les! I am normally not much of a fan of starlings . The introduction of European Starlings here has been a huge problem for native birds. However, some starlings are really beautiful.
