2. Thanks! I've never had Starlings in my yard before. This is the first year.

I've seen them around, just never in my yard.

Not sure what's changed.

I have too many House Sparrows and 3 kinds of Doves. (Inca, Mourning, Eurasian collared). Had a white-winged dove during the early spring and haven't seen it since.

Some pigeons. Mostly near town.
