Hope you enjoy the pictures ... a few from my deck & a few from Arizona
The Starlings were sure active in your yard .
Not action and captures
Very nice work, Tom! BTW these should be posted in the Photo Gallery.
More excellent photos. Great inflight wing positions.
Thanks to the folks who replied with nice comments, appreciate your comments. Also, thank you to the folks who reminded me that I posted these pictures in the wrong area ... I'll try to remember in the future!
I particularly like the starling combat captures.

These butterfly species are not found in the wild in Arizona. Where taken, then?
Regarding the "combat" mention ... I noticed(over a period of weeks) that I did see the birds "fighting?" I never saw any birds get hurt or injured in any way, it seemed like they were just trying to assert their place at the feeding station - interesting. I was also amazed that often their "fighting" seemed to take place in mid-air with limiter wing flapping, yet none of the birds ever even came close to hitting the ground!
Once one of the birds found the place where there was food, they seemed to go inform the rest of the flock where they had found food, and that resulted in a lot of activity at the feeder.
The butterfly pictures were taken at a butterfly pavilion in the Phoenix area.
