My first thought : I wish I had captured this ! The trio of starlings couldn't have chosen a better platform for their discussion, I love the way they are situated on the wooden post .the front one on left appears to be excited as I see it's breast feathers standing out a bit.
This is such a great capture Kathy! Spot on focus on all three birds, each bird is sharp and clear, exposure is perfect, colors and tones appear true and natural. The soft neutral background works beautifully to emphasize the birds.
Well composed in the vertical format. Well presented!
I think the starlings are beautiful , however since they have been coming to my yard , I have less robins.

Thanks Pat - Yes, it was an interesting shot with the 3 seemingly conspiring on what their next plans were. I sincerely appreciate the added star of encouragement, appreciation and support.
Comment from Charlotte Morse
Oh Kathy, what a great capture! They're obviously discussing something highly important - the next US president perhaps! Lol
Beautifully taken, with the perfect bland background making them stand out very well. Focus and dof are both perfect showing lovely detail in their plumage - and you've managed to capture that all important dot of light in each of the eyes! A truly lovely shot.

Very cute, your notes were perfect for this shot. I don't really like starlings but these juveniles(?) are quite photogenic. The background is perfect
to accentuates the subject. Very enjoyable.

A lot of folks don't like the Starling Birds - At my elevation, they don't bother me, but wow, they can cause havoc, especially when they flock and fly together in swarms. Allan, thank you very much for your time, kind words and encouraging rating.
Comment from Mark Lovegrove
Wow, great shot, I love everything about this nature shot of the Starling Syndicate. It is easy to see why they called them Starlings. Great focus, texture and clarity with pleasant background bokeh. Well deserved six and thanks for sharing :-)

Love how serious these 3 seem to be! I think your title fits the image to a "T", Kathy! Looks like the starling on the right is the ringleader! Lol The other two birds look like they're nodding in approval with his commands. Very cool shot with super focus and lighting! Love how your Imagination saw the story within the shot! Six stars is not enough for this shot but it's all I'm allowed! Fantastic Job My Friend! :o) Nancy

Love the title that goes very well with this wonderful visual. It does look like the three or conniving to do something. Composition, shades, tones, colors, and background highlight your subjects and a very lovely way. Well done, Kathy.

An excellent nature image presented here, together with fascinating notes too! Your eye catching composition grants us a very good view of that trio of beautiful birds and their location. Exposure and sharpness are spot on! Great photo!
