I love birds...beautiful pics!

Thanks Klasse. Great information. That one was in Seattle. They are not common around here.

Hi Richard!

That looks like a Stare(in English common Starling or European Starling)  Sturnus vulgaris. It was introduced to USA in late 1800 both in New York and in Portland. They are nativ to Europe but don´t live in Sweden the whole year, they returne every Spring. Their winter colors are very much like the one you have a picture of but in the summer they have more purple and green.

Klasse I will attempt to post a bird that I have been unable to identify...

Hi Richard and thx, I just made a test to see if I can make the pictures larger if I post them this way but unfortunatley no. Yes it is a kind of cherry. I have som nice pictures of flowers and perhaps make an album.

Looks like cherry blossoms. Nice shot.

Thx

Great pictures.
