Info European starling on a branch in Central Park. I wasn't sure whether to nominate this one or this other one, but settled on this one because I like how it's a bit fluffed up and spiky. :) It's a common bird, and a destructive invasive species in the US, but still quite pretty. all by — Rhododendrites ^talk | 16:28, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support And to my understanding, they were brought to North America by a nut who decided to try to introduce all the birds mentioned by Shakespeare. Impressive photo! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:00, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

yeah. Central Park in particular, actually. And it wouldn't be such a crazy story of they didn't have such a devastating impact on native species. Sigh. an article for anyone interested — Rhododendrites ^talk | 17:17, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -- I actually prefer the other one; I find the blurred branch in the background a little distracting. —Bruce1ee^talk 17:35, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose because of the shadow across the eye. --Ivar (talk) 07:19, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Yes, I thought there was a shadow (and I prefer this one). Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:03, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I withdraw my nomination I have nominated the other one, which has a cleaner background and the shadow isn't over the eye. Thanks, all. — Rhododendrites ^talk | 15:11, 28 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
