I've really enjoyed seeing your drawings pop up. So much variety! Mind boggling and a bit disconcerting at some level.

They are amazing birds, beautifully iridescent. Talented mimics, too. We thought we had oyster catchers nearby, but it was our starlings. I miss the city murmurations, even if they did poo on the cars.
