We’ve got starlings here in my part of the Left Coast. They frequent our yard, and don’t seem to aim for stirring up trouble with the sparrows, finches, and doves. I’ve grown to love their iridescence. Beautiful speckles are visible on their feathers when the light strikes them a certain way. I love the character of the grackle you’ve captured in your painting, Amy.
Thanks so much, Susan. Starlings have a bad reputation I know, but I find them pretty, too. It's fascinating that they hang with the grackles, all that iridescence at once.
Well done Amy, fantastic as always.

An especially good installation. Love the Austin Yelp review, too. ("Not good for kids")
Thanks, Edith! That made me laugh, too.
