Seriously though, what right do starlings have to go around being so beautiful?
Long tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) ((Fluffy boi))

Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
Wood ant (Formica rufa?)
And a few more pictures I made while rereading parts of the assassins quest
The jealous Starling was really amusing to me.

A little guy! I've been seeing this young fellow flying around the bird feeders for a few days and was finally able to get some good shots of him. I never see him with any parents, so I have no way of telling if he's a nest parasite or was raised by the local starlings, though the previous year the starlings raised their own babies, so I assume they did this spring as well. He's looking lively and healthy and eats on his own, so he's well on his way to becoming a strong adult!

The starlings are getting pretty for spring!! I can't wait to see their full gloss come in—they're such gorgeous birds. I'm definitely a big fan of this in-between with both winter spots and a subtle colorful sheen, though!
