Does a Half-Closed Eye and Relaxed Body Imply a Starling Can Enjoy an Overnight Spring Rain?

Kansas can get very dry, leaving our birds to go thirsty and have to fly great distances to find water. A few nights ago, we enjoyed a wonderful overnight spring-rain. Late the following afternoon, I observed a Starling in the soft, early-evening light and captured an image of him outside my kitchen window. When I edited the picture, it appeared his right eye was half closed and his body was relaxed as if he was enjoying spring; the recent rain and the easily availability of water. Do you interpret the image similarly to me, or am I having an exaggerated, anthropomorphic fit of imagination. (IE...Do birds show there emotions in their facial expression and body language, in your estimation?)

Nice capture. Perhaps Pete Best & Jack Bruce's "...Tired Starling..." (line in a Cream song "White Room".)

Whether he is showing it or not, I’m sure he really enjoyed the shower and availability of water. Nice shot.
