They are very common and truly don't even belong in our country in the first place. They came from Europe but just took over the country after being brought. This time of year can start to be the worst time of year for them, esp. if you feed suet.
You've got that right. Starlings will hog up the suet cake, especially peanut butter, and won't quit till it's all gone. Kind of ticks me off, oh well, they have to eat too, I guess.
In the 1890's, 100 European Starlings were released in New York's Central Park. The story go's down hill from there.

Hi Denny,
I'm only 40 minutes from Tucson. I've been down the road you're referring to many times. If #145917 is sitting there I've seen it. I'll make note of the number and look for it next time I'm down that way. I've done some diving with the son of a former Davis-Monthan AFB Commander. My wife's cousin was on the maintenance crew of the SR-71 displayed at the Pima Air Museum.
OK, AZT. When you go past the plane again, note that the number I referred to is on the tail section, and it should still be visible if you can get close enough. If you can, get a photo of it for me, and email it to me. I'd be grateful.

Hello AZT, welcome to the hog! I am from Tucson, presently cruising the high seas!
Welcome aboard mate. Have either of you seen the old P2V-7 sitting on E Drexel Rd. by Davis-Monthan AFB ?
The BU# is 145917. It's the very plane I flew in back in 1964-5. It sits right near the fence facing the road. They have stripped the engines and some other parts, but it's still seen from Google Earth. I thought that if you were in south AZ, maybe you had checked out that area.

Good photos. I've been there, passed by on the way to Ocean City. That IS a pretty area there. We live in Thurmont.
How do I include the person's statement whom I am answering? Never mind, I figured it out..
When you re-install your photos to your new computer, why not transfer them to a file folder on the desktop first, name it, then you can view and or print directly from the file folder without having to install a PP program for viewing. You can then open the files in your PP program for editing, etc.
Hello there
This is my 1st post. I've been reading the mail for a wile now and have learned quite a lot from you guys. BBF etc.
I've noticed that there has been some concerns about uploading photos from camera to computer, and using them in PP programs etc. Picasa is going to change, and what to do about the photo files, so forth. What I do is to create desktop File folders for my photos that I install to computer from the SD card from my Nikon. I'm using a hp desktop computer with windows 7. Anyway, placing my photos in these desktop folders keeps my photos in groups as named by the file folder. Like; "Our Local Photos", "Temporary", "Photos on DVD", etc. Inside these folders I have created sub folders like "My Navy", "Trip to MAAM", etc. These folders make it easy to find any photo I wish at any time. I also have Picasa3 and when I open it, I can view any file that is in the file folders on the desk top. I do what ever editing I need there, and save the edit. Then when I look in the respective file folder, The edited photo is there, ready for printing directly from the file folder or just viewing in general. I name the files as to the date and time taken, with the year first, that keeps them in proper order. When I insert the SD card from my D7000 into the card slot, the window opens, and I just move the files from that window to the file folder I want the photos to be added to. This way, there is no problem with files being lost in programs. I Burn the files in appropriate groups to DVD's on a regular basis, for security, convenience, storage, etc. I name the DVDs the same as the name of the file I copied them from. So you can see, this makes it easy to keep photos in order, available and viewable.
I don't mead to be mouthy, seeing this is my first time on the Hog, but I thought that maybe this info might be of help to someone having an issue in this area.
Good Luck to all, good shooting, and good viewing.
PS; My picasa3 is still working OK. I think it should as long as I don't mess with it on line.
