Odd birds

Can anyone identify these birds for me? Just happened to spot them outside the kitchen window. Taken leaning over the sink thru double pane window and screen so they are not the best. Have never seen these guys before. Maybe just passing thru? They are not very big. Smaller than a robin.

I don't know where you are, but they look like our Starlings. Sometimes they migrate down South, but this Winter it looks like they.re staying.

It is refreshing to hear that for some folks in North America European Starlings are still a rare sight.

My guess is a starling. They are common worldwide and migrate in huge numbers and cause problems, especially in Europe where they migrate in the millions.

Starlings are a common sight in Northeast Oklahoma. Rarely a day goes by that we don't see them.

Thank you folks. Starlings it is. They must not like it here because I have not seen them again. I am in northeastern New Mexico.

They are Starlings. If grain is processed near you they will most likely be there by the hundreds.
