I've always been fascinated by the great variety of Starlings, most of which I've never seen. I do get to experience murmurations of the Eastern Starlings we have here. During the season, we often see hundreds of them at traffic lights. Enjoyed the haiku.
Starlings are amazing! I love how they gather in huge flocks—such a beautiful sight. Their shimmering feathers and ability to mimic sounds are so cool!
